Kumpulan itu, yang diketuai oleh bekas penasihat Canselor Horst Teltschik, bekas Setiausaha Pertahanan Walter Stutzle dan bekas Naib Presiden Bunderstag, Antje Vollmer, berkata bahawa hanya kerana Rusia dan Barat mengalami perbezaan pada masa ini, ia "tidak bermakna bahawa kemajuan yang telah kita capai dalam tempoh 25 tahun lepas dengan Rusia patut ditamatkan, "kata Telschik.

Kumpulan itu menambah bahawa Eropah dan Rusia kedua-duanya mempunyai tanggungjawab bersama untuk memastikan keamanan dan keselamatan di benua, namun ini hanya boleh dicapai melalui, "keselamatan yang sama untuk semua dan semua rakan-rakan yang dihormati."

PROMINENT Germans urge WEST to STOP Sabre Rattling toward RUSSIA . . .

A group of prominent Germans are urging their country and the West to open dialogue with Russia. They believe this is essential to ensure peace in Europe, rather than further isolate Moscow, which they say would be “dangerous for the world.”

The petition named ‘New war in Europe? Not in our name!’ was signed by 60 people from Germany’s politics, economy, culture and media sectors – among them former Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder and film director Wim Wenders.

The group, led by former Chancellor advisor Horst Teltschik, former Defense Secretary Walter Stutzle and the former Vice President of the Bunderstag, Antje Vollmer, said that just because Russia and the West are experiencing differences at the moment, it “does not mean that the progress that we have achieved over the last 25 years with Russia should be terminated,” Telschik said.

They want to see a new policy of détente implemented in Europe and urge the German government and the West to move away from a confrontational policy towards Moscow, in favor of one of diplomacy.

The group adds that the Europe and Russia both have a joint responsibility to ensure peace and security on the continent, however this can only be achieved through, “equal security for all and that all partners are respected.”

Walaupun kebimbangan keselamatan negara2 tertentu Eropah Timur sedang dien-dahkan oleh Barat, kumpulan yang mengatakan bahawa rasa tidak puas hati Rusia perlu juga didengar.

"Keperluan keselamatan Russia 'adalah seperti yang sah & sama pentingnya dgn orang2 Jerman, Poland, Amerika Baltik & Ukraine. Kita tidak sepatutnya berfikir untuk menolak Rusia daripada Eropah, "surat dari kumpulan itu.

Mereka juga menambah bahawa media harus cuba untuk menjadi lebih objektif dalam laporan mereka dan perlu berhenti cuba untuk memburuk-burukkan Rusia pada setiap peluang yang diberikan. "Setiap wartawan yang tahu dasar luar dan memahami kebimbangan Rusia yang muncul apabila ahli NATO dijemput Georgia dan Ukraine pada tahun 2008 untuk menjadi ahli pakatan mereka".

Mereka percaya bahawa Barat tidak begitu tertumpu kpd Vladimir Putin sebagai pemimpin datang & pergi, tetapi harus memastikan Barat tdk merosakkan hubun-gan dengan Rusia untuk generasi akan datang.

Dari segi sejarah, kumpulan itu berkata, Rusia telah menjadi kuasa Eropah yang dihormati sejak Kongres Vienna pada tahun 1814, ketika cuba untuk berhadapan dengan Moscow telah tidak digalakkan. Semua percubaan utk tegas menukar status ini telah gagal "ditumpaskan secara berdarah".

"Kali terakhir ia megalomaniac Jerman Hitler yang mula kempen membunuh untuk menakluk Rusia pada tahun 1941."

While the security concerns of certain Eastern European nations are being heeded by the West, the group says that Russia’s grievances should also be heard.

“The Russians’ security requirements are as legitimate and just as important as those of the Germans, the Poles, the Baltic States and Ukraine. We should not look to push Russia out of Europe,” a letter from the group said.

They also added that the media should try to be more objective in their reporting and should stop trying to demonize Russia at every given opportunity. “Every journalist who knows foreign policy well understands Russia’s fears that appeared when NATO members invited Georgia and Ukraine in 2008 to become members of their alliance.”

They believe that the West should not be so focused on Vladimir Putin as leaders come and go, but should make sure the West does not ruin relations with Russia for generations to come.

Historically, the group says, Russia has been a respected European power since the Congress of Vienna in 1814, while trying to confront Moscow has not been advisable. All attempts to forcefully change this status have failed "bloodily".

"The last time it was the megalomaniac Hitler’s Germany that set about a murderous campaign to conquer Russia in 1941.”

SNOWDEN Movie picks Up top Docu AWARD . . .

"CitizenFour," a documentary about former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, who blew the whistle on top secret NSA materials, exposing US surveillance network worldwide, has won the International Documentary Association top award for best feature in LA.

The International Documentary Association (IDA), a 30-year-old nonprofit organization, is dedicated to serving the needs of a "thriving documentary culture", attempting to be at the forefront of major issues confronting documentary artists, activists and journalists.

The documentary features a series of face-to-face meetings between Berlin-based filmmaker Laura Poitras, who is on the US Homeland Security “watch list”, and the whistleblower Snowden, who got in touch with Poitras last January when she was working on a feature about surveillance in the post-9/11 era.

"Every border you cross, every purchase you make, every call you dial is in the hands of a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not," Edward Snowden warns in the trailer.

In 2013, after several months of encrypted correspondence, Poitras came to Hong Kong to meet the daredevil leaker. Her camera captured "Citizenfour", aka Snowden, in a hotel room, over the "eight days that shook the world," during which his astounding revelations were first made public in June.

Poitras said she initially expected him to be an anonymous source she never got to meet. She was highly surprised when he said: “I’m coming forward and I want you to paint a target on my back because I don’t want a leak investigation that ruins the lives of others.”

"Saya fikir Snowden mahu mengambil tanggungjawab supaya orang lain tidak mengambil kejatuhan Apabila dia memberitahu saya bahawa, saya berkata kepa-danya, 'Saya mahu berjumpa dengan anda dan saya mahu membuat penggam-baran.' Tetapi beliau berkata: 'Tidak, saya pun tak mahu menjadi cerita. 'Terdapat juga risiko kita berada di tempat yang sama pada masa yang sama.

Dia tidak mahu mengambil risiko dan kemudian hiasan arca seseorang di pintu dan semua kerja-kerja ini untuk mendapatkan maklumat yang keluar dan ia tidak keluar."

Poitras jaminan kepada beliau itu tidak akan berlaku.

"Laporan itu akan berterusan sekiranya sesuatu berlaku kepada kami berdua," katanya kepada Vanity Fair.

"I think Snowden wanted to take responsibility so others didn’t take the fall. When he told me that, I told him, ‘I want to meet you and I want to film.’ His response was: ‘No, I don’t want to be the story.’ There was also a risk of us being in the same place at the same time. He didn’t want to take risks and then someone busts in the door and all this work to get the information out and it doesn’t get out."

Poitras assured him it wouldn’t happen.

"The reporting would continue if something happened to both of us," she told Vanity Fair.

"Citizenfour" adalah sekeping yg terakhir trilogi Poitras 'yg bermula dgn Oscar penama "Negaraku, Negaraku", tentang kehidupan dan pilihan raya di Iraq semasa pekerjaan Amerika Syarikat, dan "Sumpah", kira-kira Guantanamo Bay.

Beliau berkata, sebelum dia tlh dihubungi oleh Snowden dia tlh "berhenti & mena-han setiap kali dia menyeberangi sempadan Amerika Syarikat" selama 6 tahun ber-turut-turut, dan akhirnya memutuskan untuk berpindah ke Berlin.

Poitras berkongsi Hadiah Pulitzer pd tahun ini utk peranannya dlm menerbitkan dokumen Snowden. Beliau juga tlh dianugerahkan Anugerah Keberanian Di bawah Kebakaran IDA tahun lepas untuk dia "keberanian mudah dilihat di dalam usaha mencapai kebenaran."

"Citizenfour" is the final piece of Poitras' trilogy that began with an Oscar-nominee "My Country, My Country", about life and elections in Iraq during US occupation, and "The Oath", about Guantanamo Bay.

She said that before she was contacted by Snowden she was "stopped and detained every time she crossed the US border" for six years running, and finally decided to move to Berlin.

Poitras shared a Pulitzer Prize this year for her role in publicizing the Snowden documents. She was also awarded IDA's Courage Under Fire award last year for her "conspicuous bravery in the pursuit of truth."
