Greek demarche not based on misinterpretation

The demarche made to the German government by Greece was not based on a misinterpretation, Foreign Ministry spokesman Konstantinos Koutras said on Thursday, in response to a German journalist’s question on the issue.

"It was very mistakenly reported by a portion of the media, both domestically and internationally, that the demarche Greece made to the German government was supposedly based on an incorrectly translated phrase characterizing the Greek Finance Minister," Koutras said. 
 
“On the contrary, the reasons the specific demarche was made to the government of a country that is a friend, partner and ally lie in the substance of what was said by Mr. Schaeuble.”
