Yesterday G20 summit ended in Antalya, Turkey. World leaders discussed strengthening the fight against international terrorism, the inconvertibility of the ground campaign in Syria, the thaw in relations with Moscow, as well as the growing problem of refugees. Against the backdrop of terrorist attacks in Paris, the issue of Ukraine went by the wayside.
I think that the main achievement of the G20 meeting can be regarded as a joint statement of the participating countries, which stressing that terrorism can not be associated with a particular religion, nationality or ethnic group. Events in Paris confirmed this statement when the terrorists appeared to be French citizens.
According to the "Global Terrorism Index", the number of victims of terrorism in the world over last year increased by 80%. In Israel only for last month there were more than 600 (!!) attacks during which 11 Israelis were killed. In Ukraine the conflict in the Donbass is escalating with new force.
Today like hundreds years ago crazy fanatics are trying to split the world into friends and foes when "right" is determined by the color of the skin, church, ideology or country of residence. They have chosen the bombs, bullets and violence in their struggle like primitive savages with sticks.
In our world terrorism has crossed a line of a particular state or nation. Today some countries are often not able to cope with the terrorist threat by 100%. They only have to repel the endless attacks.
Recent mass terrorist attacks in Paris, threats posed by ISIS militants about attacks on Washington proved once again that only by joining forces, it is possible to confront the evil of terrorism. It turned out that even in the heart of Europe, in a city that is a symbol of love and beauty for the whole world and no one can feel safe.
In his speech at the G20 summit the US leader Barack Obama rhetorically asked the heads of the Arab countries: “How is it happened that Islamic extremism was able to strike root there?” Indeed, why the younger generation shows more hatred and intolerance?
Statements of the "G20" leaders are very important right now. Today, the targets of violence of terrorists are not the Israelis, Ukrainians or French. The whole humanity is subjected to attacks of the murderers. It means that only by uniting against this global evil we can protect and preserve our world and our lives.
