(ANSA) - ROME, 10 FEB - "The suffering, the mourning, the
displacement, the exodus to which tens of thousands of families
were forced in the areas of the eastern border, of Istria, of
Rijeka, of the Dalmatian coasts, are written with an indelible
sign," said Italy's President Sergio Mattarella, on the occasion
of the Remembrance Day. "The crimes against humanity unleashed
in that conflict - added the Head of State - did not end with
the liberation from Nazi-fascism, but continued in the
persecution and violence perpetrated by another authoritarian
regime, the communist one. The horror of the foibe (natural
sinkholes, ed.) affects our conscience." (ANSA).
