00:00 The regulations of the 1982 Pencil and Pencil, Pencil and Pencil, Veterans, and ETM

00:11 were approved by the military council.

00:14 They have been waiting for more than 10 years for this Pencil and Pencil,

00:19 because it is their right and it is the duty of the government.

00:24 I would like to remind the Ministry of Defense

00:27 that this veteran does not deny the government's sympathy,

00:31 but demands their rights.

00:33 For your information, Mr. Chairman and all honorable members of the government,

00:39 since 2013, I have never heard a single Minister of Defense,

00:44 including the current Minister of Defense,

00:46 who has been in consultation with the Ministry for almost a year

00:50 to bring this issue to be discussed in the Cabinet.

00:55 If you have, please let me know.

00:57 But I have never heard of it.

01:00 I am here to...

01:01 I am giving you an explanation.

01:04 How do you know that I have never brought it?

01:07 That's what I said.

01:08 If you have, please let me know.

01:10 But I have never heard of it.

01:11 I have brought it many times.

01:12 You have to tell me.

01:13 But the charge was withdrawn.

01:15 I withdrew it, but if it was brought, it was...

01:19 I brought it to the Cabinet.

01:21 The charge said that I did not bring it, so I withdrew it.

01:24 I withdrew it.

01:26 Because that's an accusation.

01:27 That's not a statement.

01:28 It's not an accusation.

01:29 I said...

01:30 I said... Listen to me.

01:32 I said, if it was brought, it's okay.

01:34 If it wasn't brought, then bring it.

01:36 I withdrew it.

01:37 I withdrew it.

01:38 Okay, bring it.

01:39 Okay, thank you.

01:40 Here, I urge the current Minister of Defense

01:44 to bring this issue of pension compensation

01:46 to be discussed in the Armed Forces Conference.

01:49 And ask him to bring this matter to the Cabinet.

01:52 The Cabinet will come to resolve this matter.

01:55 Thank you.
