At the G20 summit in St. Petersburg - the traditional meeting that brings together the 20 leaders of the earth - Francis Pope has sent a letter to the current President of the meeting, Vladimir Putin, in order not to take military action in Syria. On 2 and 3 September, Rome and Brussels, an Appeal to President Obama, which was supported by institutions in several countries, was launched by the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The St. Petersburg summit did not give a positive result on this topic and the positions of the U.S. and Russia are far apart.
