(MENAFN- Saudi Press Agency) Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis voiced confidence on the eve of a meeting with Germany's Wolfgang Schaeuble that Berlin will 'show solidarity' in tackling Athens' debt burden, Reuters reported.
Asked by German public broadcaster ARD what he expected from the European Union, Varoufakis said the one thing Greece was asking for was not to be put under pressure by means of an ultimatum.
'Give us until the end of May, until the beginning of the summer, to be able to put our suggestions for a solution on the table so we can talk about them with our partners,' he said, adding Greece and Europe could then make new agreements.
'I'm sure that ... Dr. (Finance Minister) Schaeuble, Ms (Chancellor Angela) Merkel and everyone in Germany will show solidarity,' Varoufakis said on Wednesday, according to a transcript of the interview.
