I have a deep sense of responsibility to my country and Greek people.

We need a president who can solve our problems, bring us together. We're becoming Greece if we don't work together.

As long as I feel I am doing what I think is right and just for my country, for the Greek people, that is enough for me. Saving Greece from this crisis was the first thing on the agenda. We are now on a much more normalised road.

If I was a Greek citizen I'd be out there trying to bring down this monstrosity that has been put upon those people.

I love the Greeks. There's no messing around - it's all do or die with them.

I am not an Athenian or a Greek, but a citizen of the world.

I would say we are a friend in need and I am sure that the Greek people would very much welcome the choice of the British people to come and enjoy Greece, first of all, but also that would be a sign of support.

Many people have been pontificating, and patronizing, and moralizing, and scapegoating, saying you Greeks, you are the problem. I would say we Greeks have a problem. We are not the problem.

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

Politics also means educating people. It's important to speak openly with our fellow Greeks, to tell them what our problems are and that we have to change something.
