Kooperation und nicht Konfrontation mit Russland!
In his short article, Mr. Genscher analyzes political context of the NATO summit in Chicago in April 2012. While acknowledging that former German Chancellor H. Schmidt and former U.S. Senator S. Nunn are right to warn about the possibility of new arms race and on the return to confrontation and to the new increased tensions, Mr. Genscher asks a few questions. These questions are: Do not be reasonable to choose to continue the negotiations with Moscow, instead of taking a unilateral decision in Chicago to create the first echelon of missile defense system? Why now, when Obama announced his more flexibility after the elections it was necessary to initiate urgently NATO summit in Chicago and a similar hasty decision on missile system? According to Mr. Genscher, the Heads of States and Governments of the NATO countries should focus on constructive relations with Russia and on the using of chance of East – West cooperation in the spirit of Paris Charter.
