Panel on the Nuclear Factor in Crisis Management: How to Reduce Risks?

Remarks by Ambassador Thomas Greminger, Primakov Readings in Moscow

"Almost exactly 60 years ago, it was possible for the superpowers to move back from the brink of nuclear confrontation during the Caribbean Missile Crisis. A few weeks ago, at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy, we hosted an event involving American and Russian security experts to discuss lessons learned from that dangerous time and how they can be applied today. 
On the basis of that meeting and my own personal reflections, I would like to contribute some ideas to this discussion.."
says Greminger.
