The Greek revolution set the framework of values on which the Greek state was built, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Wednesday following the military parade in downtown Athens to celebrate Greek Independence Day.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in an interview with daily Ethnos expressed his determination to proceed with and implement his programme down to the last detail, to which he has committed himself over a four-year period, with the government submitting crucial bills to the Parliament soon.

Main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras said in an interview to private Skai television on Monday that he will never sign an agreement requested by Greece's troika of lenders, as Prime Minister Antonis Samaras has done, not just because he is not Samaras but also because there is an ethical perspective and "we do not have the right to make that blunder."
