(ANSA) - BRUSSELS - The struggle against Isis must continue and Germany will continue to participate in the coalition, the air missions and to support those who fight on the ground, such as the Kurdish peshmerga, whom we have provided with weapons. But the war on terror cannot be won by military means'', Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said, speaking at the Foreign Council in Brussels.

France and Europe are ''shocked and today we must stand alongside France'', Steinmeier said, adding however that ''at the same time we need self-control and we must not give in to the difficult situation we are facing. We must not make a wrong move or make decisions that do not help us'', the German minister said. (ANSA).
