>He was at a loss, not just for words, but for everything. Nothing coursed through his mind like that ever before, no Victory Day parade, no gleaming tanks and jets, no proud soldiers marching in lock step unison could be as perfect as her smile.

"Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani, speaking in front of relevant parliamentary committees Thursday, announced Rome’s intention to re-establish diplomatic ties with Syria to prevent Russia from monopolizing diplomatic efforts in the Middle Eastern country," Associated Press reports.
