The verdict of the Greek people renders the troika a thing of the past for our common European framework.

The Greek people not only relate to the ancient traditions, they have fought, they have shed blood, until recently, to defend the values of democracy and freedom.

I have always taken measures to fight corruption, to attract investment, to create a better context for investment in Greece.

We will do whatever we could do to keep Greece inside the euro and inside Europe.

Greece is a pillar of peace and security in a region where stabilization is on the growth.

I have underscored my commitment to dialogue and cooperation with our neighboring Turkey, a country that plays an important role for the future of our region. But I still stress that the promotion of this important relations can only take place on the basis of mutual respect without threats of war and questioning of sovereign rights.

Real freedom for people can only exist whenever there is security and independence.
