(ANSA) - BERLIN, DECEMBER 21 - German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said the Taliban "decided to destroy the future of their country" by banning Afghan women from attending university and said she will put the issue on the G7 agenda.
"By destroying the future of girls and women in Afghanistan, the Taliban have decided to destroy the future of their own country. I will put the issue on the G7 agenda tomorrow," wrote the minister on Twitter, whose country holds the G7 presidency until end of year.
"The world is watching us," she added to Afghan officials.
Turkey is also on the field.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's spokesman, Ibrahim Kalin, described the ban on university education imposed by the Taliban on women in Afghanistan as "against the spirit of Islam".
"There is no place in religion for this type of prohibition," Erdogan's spokesman wrote on Twitter.
