Hans-Dietrich Genscher calls to avoid Russia-West conflict escalation
SourceThe former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher calls for preventing the escalation of the conflict between Russia and the West over the developments in the Caucasus. He says in an interview with the Mitteldeutsche Zeitung newspaper that the Euroepan Union should take measures to ease the situation in the first place. Herr Genscher specifies that the EU should continue making efforts to sign an agreement on partnership with Russia. Meanwhile the German political analyst Lorenz Haag feels that Moscow’s recognition of South Ossetia’s and Abkhazia’s independence was a responsible and courageous decision, a decision, Herr Haag says, that reflects the will of the state that wishes no more powder kegs in the Caucasus and elsewhere in the world. He describes as counterproductive the proposals by some western politicians to isolate Russia. We can succeed, Haag says, if only we act all together, seeing Russia as an important political and economic partner.
