Official statement from his most illustrious majesty, Ahmad I, Sultan, Caliph and ruler of Constantinople:

"All jews and muslims who may remain in Iberia and who face religious persecution as an every day event, are welcome to come to the Ottoman Empire, here you will have sanctuary against the repressive despot residing on the Spanish throne."

Also he wishes all monarchs, who celebrate the New Year as according to the faulty Gregorian calendar, a very happy New Year!
