The Taliban, which is in control of Afghanistan, took a new decision regarding women in the country. According to the decision taken by the Taliban, it was ruled that Afghan women should cover their faces again. The Israeli newspaper The Jerusalem Post, which relayed the news to its readers, tried to carry out a counter-perception operation in Turkey.
TURKISH FLAG DETAIL IN BURKA NEWS
The detail in the news of The Jerusalem Post, an Israeli press, which reported the development with the headline “The Taliban religious leader ordered women to wear the burqa in public”, did not escape attention. Although the decision is not about Turkey, the detail of the Turkish flag stood out in the photo of the Taliban news.
Imprisonment and dismissal
It was noted that a woman’s father or closest male relative will be supervised, and if the woman does not cover her face outside the home, the men concerned will be imprisoned or fired from government jobs. “Most women in Afghanistan wear headscarves for religious reasons. In urban areas like Kabul, many women do not cover their faces,” the report said.
HARD SANCTIONS ARE IMPLEMENTED
The same news also included the note that the USA and other countries cut development aid to Afghanistan after the Taliban seized power in August, and that this country imposed harsh sanctions on the banking system.
PERCEPTION OPERATION AGAINST TURKEY
The use of the Turkish flag detail while conveying the development led to comments such as “The international press is again carrying out a perception operation against Turkey”.
