(ANSA) - Rome, October 2 - A group of around 50 Syrian Kurds tried to break through the main entrance of the Lower House in Rome on Thursday. Parliament staff locked the doors immediately while police pushed back the protestors, who waved flags and chanted in favour of the Kurds fighting against ISIS Islamist rebels in the besieged Syrian town of Kobane. The demonstration continued peacefully after the incident, with protestors sitting on the ground arm-in-arm. They sang chants accusing Turkish President Recep Erdogan of being a "terrorist".
