"Information of this nature creates a false opinion about the army, calling into question the reforms.
The Defense Ministry official said that as per the requirement of the Charter of the Armed Forces, the Army formed a healthy and united collective, and the service is organized in accordance with the principles of construction and in compliance with the Army chain of command," said the statement.
