The Ministry of Defense (MoD) on Wednesday criticized the recent remarks made by first Vice President Abdul Rashid Dostum on the Afghan army's action against threats.

"These remarks are not from military specialists. They would have specialty in other fields, but the way that we work is that first we assess the situation to see where is the enemy and how are their forces and facilities.
