- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Greece is turning a page with a decision that corresponds to the sacrifices of the Greek people, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday, commenting on the decision taken by the Eurogroup on Greece, which unlocks the next loan installment and specified some debt relief measures.
"Today Greece is turning a page. We have an agreement that corresponds to the sacrifices of the Greek people. With unity and determination we move forward for fair growth and the healing of the wounds of the crisis," he tweeted.
The Eurogroup decision on Greece provides much greater clarity for both Greeks and the financial markets, Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said on Thursday, after the Eurogroup meeting in Luxembourg.
In a joint press conference with Alternate Finance Minister George Chouliarakis, the minister said it is important to create a mechanism for growth.
"All sides tried for a compromise. We are creating a road map so that Greece can turn the page," he said, adding it is important that the Eurogroup commits to helping Greece complete the program in 12-14 months.
