Abdul Rashid Dostum to Afghanistan as he rejected the reports that the vice president’s plane was barred from landing in the airport of Mazr-e-Sharif.

The office of the first vice president in a statement stated that all reports suggesting that the plane was forcefully diverted are false.

The statement further added that the vice president is still based in Ankara city and no decision has been taken regarding his return in the near future.
