ITALIAN OPPOSITION CALLS FOR RUSSIA’S PARTICIPATION TO SOLVE EUROPE’S MIGRANT CRISIS

Rome, 1 Dzulhijjah 1436/15 September 2015 (MINA) – Russia’s participation is needed to fight terrorism and resolve Europe’s immigration problem, Renato Brunetta, parliamentary head of Italy’s center-right opposition party Forza Italia, said on Monday (14/9).

“It is important to accept refugees but at the same time, this provides no solution to the problem. We should eradicate the phenomenon of mass exodus, which is connected with the spread of Islamic fundamentalism and Islamic State’s expansion,” Brunetta said, Russian News Agency TASS quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.

“That’s why we need an agreement with Russia,  a member of the United Nations Security Council. Only with Russia’s participation, international interference under the auspices of the UN will become possible.”

Brunetta stressed the overriding importance of tackling terrorism to stem the flow of migrants. (T/P006/R04)
