Army Command calls for an end to interference in its organizational affairs
The army command called for the military to be kept separate from political interests and disputes, and for an end to interference in its practical and organizational affairs, in order to allow the new army command to fulfill its “promising” national role.
In a press release issued on Saturday, the army command responded to media speculation regarding the appointment of officers and intelligence service officials, and said that the explanations discussed in media were “irresponsible and totally untrue.”
The army command said the comments, which suggested that certain appointments had been made due to political considerations, actually represented misgivings about the officers’ credentials and loyalty to the military. The army command affirmed that these appointments were made based upon the candidate’s credentials and experience, as well as the interests of the army and the country.
