Army Command urges media to stop undermining military
The Army Command’s General Directorate on Wednesday said that some mass media, particularly the visual media, listed the names of candidates for the position of army commander based on their political standards.
The statement said that the Army Command considers this interference in the internal affairs of the military institution, a denial of its national role and of its officers’ ethics, and an offense against the future army commander.
It called on all media outlets to avoid undermining the military institution and to separate it from all political disputes so that it may better serve national interests.
