These massacres, besides the victims, fueling hatred and misunderstandings that threaten to perpetuate itself: to promote the acceptance of Christians and Yazidis by Muslim families is inscribed in the wake of an ancient tradition - dating back to 1915, when the Syrian Sunnis welcomed the Armenians on the run - and it sees the majority of Muslims welcome the refuges persecuted in the name of values ​​of charity, generosity and hospitality that are the basis of the same Islam.
The mission of the Prime Minister of the Italian Republic Matteo Renzi, in Baghdad and Erbilis right - concludes Capasso - as it is right claim the role for Europe, however, the West and the whole international community can not close their eyes on Syria and they must lift the veil on an unworthy politics and many falsehoods.
