Greece should initially claim the German debts through negotiations with the German government but also in court if Germany insists on its current negative stance, said Greek parliament's intergroup committee for the claim of German debts report that was voted and submitted to the parliament's plenum.

"The repercussions of WWII for Greece and its citizens were tremendous and irreversible because the country experienced a premeditated and unprovoked attack as well as the barbarous occupation by the forces of the German Nazis, of the fascist Italy and Tsar's Bulgaria.

This triple occupation led the Greek people to extreme poverty because it destroyed the country's economy. This finding is easily documented by the existing official state material and is justified by a large number of strong and undeniable testimonies and by a plethora of historical sources" says the parliament's committee report.
