| Message | We see this bill as self-contradictory. Some articles shift policy in a more humane direction -- which we support -- while others such as the pro-nuclear bomb article are unacceptable. |
| Date | 22:00:37, January 30, 2017 CET | From | The new order / Yeni düzen | To | Debating the Military reform bill |
| Message | What do you say is right, but also wrong. We have humane direction, but we should also have strong army. Using nuclear weapons is bad thing, but is not worser than losing a war. If using it mean we win the war, then use it, yes, it's bad things but we need to alywas be ready. |

| Message | There is no excuse for using nuclear weapons, which will -- without exception -- lead to the mass murder of civilians. The same goes for land mines. If CHP comes to power, we will work for Jakania to sign anti-WMD treaties. |
