TAORMINA (Italy), May 27 - RIA Novosti. The summit of the "Big Seven" (G7) ended in Taormina, Italy. The participants adopted a final declaration in which they noted the importance of the fight against terrorism, strengthening the opposition to ISIS (a terrorist group banned in the Russian Federation) in Syria and Iraq, and also did not rule out strengthening sanctions against the Russian Federation in case of failure to comply with the Minsk agreements.

Experts note that the current summit turned out to be the most useless of all and did not bring any concrete solutions to the main problems. So now all attention will be directed to the G20 meeting in Hamburg.

The shortest declaration

The G7 summit was held in Sicily on May 26 and 27. The United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Japan discussed issues related to climate change, the fight against terrorism, the resolution of the migrant crisis, Russia, Syria, and assistance to African countries in the fight against epidemics and famine.

As a result of the meetings, the participants adopted a declaration, which turned out to be much shorter than at previous G7 summits. Only six pages. Experts suggest that the leaders of the G7 left the most difficult issues for discussion within the G20 in Germany.

In the final document, in particular, the countries reaffirmed their support for Ukraine, stating that Russia is responsible for this conflict. The leaders also expressed their willingness to tighten sanctions on Moscow if the situation warrants.

Commenting on the decisions of the Seven, French President Emmanuel Macron said that he would discuss the situation in Ukraine with Russian President Vladimir Putin during his visit to Paris on May 29. Macron emphasized the intention to conduct a demanding dialogue with Moscow, and believes that it is necessary, since an exchange of views with the Kremlin is important for resolving many international issues. According to him, in particular, the G7 countries recognize the important role of Russia, Turkey and Iran in the Syrian settlement.

The French leader also called for an early meeting in the Normandy format to discuss the crisis in Ukraine.

Another topic of the final communique touched upon the situation in Syria. The G7 countries adopted a declaration on the joint fight against terrorism on the first day. In the final document, this topic was revealed through the intention to strengthen cooperation in the fight against ISIS, in particular in Syria and Iraq.

The leaders called for the punishment of those who commit crimes in the name of IS * and use chemical weapons. They also demanded that Russia and Iran influence Damascus to strengthen the ceasefire.

The G7 expressed hope that the Astana agreements on de-escalation zones would indeed lead to a reduction in violence in Syria. At the same time, the leaders linked their willingness to work on a political settlement in Syria to Moscow's need to influence Damascus.

Among other topics that the leaders touched upon in their statement are the economic situation in the world and interaction with African countries, including in the fight against migration. All G7 countries reaffirmed their commitment to keep their markets open and resist protectionism, and agreed to partner in helping African countries create conditions to prevent the causes of mass migration.

The G7 leaders also tried to achieve unity on the issue of combating climate change, but in the final declaration they were forced to admit defeat because of the position of the United States, which did not join the consensus on revising the Paris Agreement. US President Donald Trump himself wrote on this occasion on his Twitter account that he would make a decision on the climate next week.

In turn, Italian leader Paolo Gentiloni expressed hope that the remaining unresolved item on the summit agenda would be settled within the next week, noting that the rest of the G7 members respect Washington's position.

"Seven" has not exhausted itself, but is already useless

Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni expressed his satisfaction with the course of negotiations at the summit and called the discussions open. According to him, the format of the summit has not yet exhausted itself, and other leaders agree with him on this.

At the same time, experts believe that the current forum "set a new negative record" of empty statements.

“In a year when expectations were already minimal, the G7 set a new negative record ... It is not wise to file a final declaration as a success simply by adding words about “hunger” or “sustainable development” at the last moment. Only concrete actions, not words can save lives and secure our common future,” said Federike Roeder, director of security and development for the non-governmental organization ONE.

According to her, the countries could not come to unity due to the unfriendly position of the new Trump administration and the lack of ambitions of other leaders.

The current G7 summit turned out to be useless, since the countries that are members of this group mean less and less on the world stage, says Ian Bremmer, founder and president of the American research and consulting company Eurasia Group, professor at New York University.

“The results will be small, because the G7 is attended by seven countries that mean less and less. Under the capitalist economy and globalization, the manifestation of economic and geopolitical power of China, the dismay of Europe, the growing weight of Russia, the inward explosion in the Middle East, an increasingly visible US opposition to the rest of the world, especially in relation to the values that they once propagated," the political scientist said in an interview that the newspaper la Repubblica published on Saturday.

Bremmer believes that the joint action of the G7 and the West in general against terrorism, indicated in the declaration adopted on Friday, will be difficult to implement in practice. In his opinion, in 2017 the world will face a geopolitical recession.

Trump against the system

The "newcomers" of the forum, US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron, aroused keen interest among journalists. The media watched with interest what the first ladies of the two states were wearing, compared the cost of their costumes and how they attend official events.

On the verge of a scandal was the behavior of Melania Trump, who, according to Italian media, did not participate in the official program for the spouses of the G7 leaders for security reasons. In the White House, RIA Novosti denied these reports, calling them incorrect. Later, the media also published information that Melania Trump took part in a tour for the wives of delegates and was wearing a jacket worth 50 thousand dollars.

Trump himself "distinguished himself" by violating the protocol. On the second day of the summit, he arrived an hour late for the meeting. And after that, he did not use headphones for translation when Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni opened the discussion in Italian. He touched on Trump's behavior at the summit at the final press conference, calling it "curious" and "going for dialogue."

Some Western media also suffered from the American onslaught. Some journalists were denied accommodation at the hotel where one of the Seven's press centers was located "for security reasons." Even booking and paying in advance for a hotel room did not help. As it turned out later, the US delegation bought almost the entire hotel for the presidential pool of correspondents, so some of the colleagues had to be evicted.

Emmanuel Macron was not seen in such scandals and attracted the attention of the press only as one of the possible "hidden leaders" of the summit. However, his walk in the gardens of Taormina with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did not go unnoticed. In social networks, the shots of the two outwardly most attractive politicians of the "Seven" were called "very romantic."

Protests, peaceful and not so peaceful

Not without protests, traditional for such events. Despite all the security measures taken, units pulled into Taormina and the surrounding cities from all over Italy and a virtual state of siege along the entire Sicilian coast, the summit was accompanied by both peaceful semi-theatrical actions and a real anti-globalization march, which ended in clashes with law enforcement forces.

On Friday, Greenpeace activists erected a 4-meter statue of Liberty, wearing a life jacket, in the sea near the town of Giardini Naxos, adjacent to the summit venue. According to the organizers of the action, in this way they wanted to draw the attention of politicians and the public to the problems of climate change and rising sea levels.

Almost on the same beach on Saturday morning, activists from the international humanitarian organization Oxfam. Seven of them put on huge puppet heads of the G7 heads of state and erected a wall of cardboard boards with a brick pattern, protesting against the migration policies of the world's leading economies.

The apotheosis of the demonstrations was the march of anti-globalists, which took place on Saturday evening after the end of the summit. The same embankment of Giardini Naxos became the arena for him. About 1,500 mostly left-wing activists took part in the action, marching along the street under flags depicting a sickle and a hammer. The most radical of them tried to break through the police cordon, to which law enforcement forces responded with tear gas.

However, the clashes turned out to be short-lived and, according to the observation of a RIA Novosti correspondent, did not even end in arrests.

Be that as it may, for civilians the past summit has become more of an irritating factor that has brought confusion into everyday life. The owners of the hotel where the correspondent of RIA Novosti stayed expressed the hope that henceforth such events would bypass the quiet resort of Sicily.

The Belgian Queen Mathilde was responsible for the leisure of the first ladies. The following arrived in Brussels: First Lady of France Brigitte Macron, First Lady of Turkey Emine Gulbaran Erdogan, First Lady of the United States Melania Trump, Companion of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg Ingrid Schulerud, First Lady of Bulgaria Desislava Radeva, friend of Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel - Amelie Derboudrenghien, husband of the Prime Minister Minister of Luxembourg Xavier Bettel - Gauthier Destne, common-law wife of Slovenian Prime Minister Miroslav Cerara Jr. - Moika Stropnik, First Lady of Iceland Margrethe Baldvinsdottir.

A separate cultural program was devised for the spouses of the heads of state. And of course, all eyes were on the outfits and accessories of the first ladies.

The main style competition unfolded between Melania Trump and the wife of French President Emmanuel Macron, 64-year-old Brigitte Macron.

Newly based at the Élysée, Brigitte Macron has quickly become a style icon with a Louis Vuitton wardrobe, trendy long bangs and a lightheartedly modern yet elegant way of creating her own style. Brigitte represented Parisian chic in Brussels.

But it's still not easy to compete with the glamorous polished style of former model Melania Trump. Fitted suits and incredibly feminine lace dresses by Dolce & Gabbana, the impeccable grooming of Melania, who accompanied her husband on his first foreign tour, did not go unnoticed.

Moreover, in Brussels, Melania smiled. Perhaps this was the biggest sensation in the “club of first ladies”.

Although her beige leather suit by the Belgian design house Maison Ullens, chosen for the Brussels meeting, also attracted close attention. Yes, "skin", yes "beige" - in front of cameras from all over the world. It's practically a feat.

But back to Brigitte Macron, who once again was outfitted by the French Louis Vuitton. The little black dress caused a certain sensation and gathered a lot of mixed comments: a dress above the knees at an official event is still bold. Although Brigitte - now the first lady of France - never really hid her amazing legs. Ease and ease - just what distinguishes her from Melania. The outfit was complemented by a somewhat playful handbag by the same designer, but with the monogram B.M.

However, for the afternoon, Mrs. Trump had a "trump card" in store. She changed into a lacy black cocktail dress (once again a Dolce & Gabbana) while most of the other First Ladies remained in the same outfit.

No carelessness could hide at this moment some irritation of Brigitte Macron.

Other wives and partners, meanwhile, kept to "safe" or traditional variations on the theme of formal attire and, apparently, did not even think of getting into this secret style competition.

Another moment of the summit, which was heavily commented on social networks, was the presence of Gauthier Destenay, he is the spouse of Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel (the first openly homosexual prime minister), in the official photo of the wives of the leaders of the summit.

The "First Gentleman" of Luxembourg Gauthier Destenay took part in the cultural program prepared for the first ladies.
