[01] Gov't: Athens, Berlin partners
(ANA-MPA) -- Greece and Germany are not opponents but partners working
toward the same goal, which was to protect the eurozone and the common
currency, Foreign Minister Dimitris Droutsas stressed on Wednesday.
Droutsas, who accompanied Prime Minister George Papandreou on a visit
to Paris for a meeting of the Socialist International council, was
referring to opposing views expressed by Papandreou and German
Chancellor Angela Merkel concerning a proposed "debt restructuring"
mechanism for Eurozone countries that needed help meeting their debts.
Papandreou's position in Paris was one that "reflected reality" and a
"responsible position for both Greece and other countries facing
difficulties but also for the entire Eurozone and the euro," Droutsas
stressed in an interview with a local radio station.
He emphasised, however, that Papandreou's criticism of Merkel's plan
did not mean that Greece and Germany were "necessarily on a course of
conflict" and pointed out that Europe was currently experiencing
unprecedented situations.
