Military intervention in Iraq not on agenda says Renzi

(ANSA) - Rome, October 12 - Italy will not participate in anti-Islamic State (ISIS) coalition bombings in Iraq, Premier Matteo Renzi told a talk show on RAI public broadcaster at the weekend.
    "That decision is not on the agenda," he said. "It is a fact that in principle we can intervene militarily in some situations, but the Iraq situation does not have those characteristics, at least for now".
    Renzi went on to say that the fight against ISIS must include Turkey and Russia.
    "Either we come up with an overall strategy, or we are all victims of a strategy that continues on a day by day basis," he said.
