| Mikhail Gorbachev at Checkpoint Charlie in Berlin |
| Berlin, 08.11.2014 |
|
| Citizens of Berlin lit up 6,800 balloons along the length of the old Berlin Wall to mark its demise, while former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was feted for allowing the reunification of Germany happen without violence.
“Anyone who comes to Berlin, or even the rest of Germany, can see the progress that has been made in the past few years. Congratulations on the anniversary,” said the 83-year-old to applause from a large media-dominated crowd just outside the Brandenburg Gate.
“I was first in East Berlin in 1966 – this was a dour place, full of buildings that still hadn’t been repaired since the end of the war,” reminisced the frail-looking, but firm-sounding Gorbachev.
“The war is long gone, but once again we are seeing tensions rise in Europe, and we have to make sure that the situation doesn’t get away from us,” he said, referring to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
