Europe is a strong market for the U.S. If it has problems, if there's a lack of consumer confidence, if there's a deeper recession, this will deeply affect jobs in the U.S.

Today I want to send a message of optismism to all Greeks. Our road, our path, will be more stabilised. Our country will be in a better situation. We will be stronger.

If you put all the European countries together, we are the biggest economy in the world.

We have made major reforms in Greece. When I took over after a landslide victory we had a mandate for change and I knew my major focus would be re-organizing the state.

It is important that the Greek people make decisions on important developments.

Everyone needs to carry out his own personal revolution.

The real problem in Greece is not cutting taxes, it's making sure that we don't have tax evasion.
