In that framework, he underlined: "We will reach an agreement based on the regulations, the democracy and the social cohesion."

Greece is seeking a solution that will help it return to growth in the eurozone without the mistakes of the past, Pappas noted adding that those betting on the country's destruction will be once again proved wrong.

"We are not just asking for an agreement, we are asking for a solution. In order for an agreement to be reached, this should beneficial for the people," the State Minister pointed out. He also added that this agreement should be a long-term agreement that will establish trust. It cannot be a short-term agreement that will extend uncertainty, he said.

Asked on government red lines, Pappas noted: The government red lines are those that have prevented a negative for the vast majority of the society agreement. The reinstitution of the labour rights, the non cuts of pensions and salaries, the disengagement from the devastating austerity policy and a comprehensive solution of the problem remain our red lines.

He underlined that austerity does not concern only Greece, but all Europe and added: "Greece is not a separate case. In today's Europe there are two contradictory positions - social Europe and austerity."

Katrougalos also noted that Greek banks will not impose a capital control and stressed the importance of the coming week. "Next week is crucial. It is not just Monday. It is an ongoing effort," he said.

As for the possibility of an extension, he said that technically is feasible, but he is against that prospect.
