The Better Conference. Article by Dr. Klaus Hahnzog in the Münchner Abendzeitung v. 31.1.2014

 

Among the speakers at the 2014 conference:

Prof. Dr. retired Mohssen Massarrat

was a university lecturer at the University of Osnabrück in international politics, peace and conflict studies, and political economy. He has been proposing since 2006,
to create a zone free of weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East through a series of conferences. Controlling and eliminating existing weapons of mass destruction and preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons in the region (“nuclear conflict with Iran”) would be an important step in confidence building and easing tensions in the region.
