Foreign Minister Paolo
Gentiloni said Friday that Western nations were not planning to
return to medieval Crusades against Islam but only wanted to
assist in establishing freedom and democracy. "From our side,
there is no crusade nor adventures, there is the consideration
of the fact that we must fight to defend democracy and freedom".
In remarks to the Lower House, he added: "Italy will do
everything to defend its security, counteracting this
barbarism," from Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists.
