[01] The tough part is over, Prime Minister Samaras says
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras on Sunday launched his visit to the
United Stated by attending mass at Saint Nikolaos Church in Flushing,
N.Y. officiated by Archbishop Demetrios of America.
Addressing the faithful comprising members of the Greek-American
community, he sent a message of optimism, underlining that Greece is
going through difficult times but it will stand on its feet, noting that
it has covered most of the distance and soon will exit the labyrinth.
"The Greek people have tasted the bitterness brought by the talk about
our country's exit from the eurozone and felt the defeat on all fronts
of the economy. With pride and sobriety they left the difficulties
behind. Nobody talks about a Grexit anymore. Greece will set an example
for Europe," he said.
The prime minister referred to the latest events and arrests of
ultra-right Chryssi Avgi (GD) MPs and cadres saying "as the prime
minister, I am interested in unity. Nobody has the right to hate the other
person, to believe in violence, to be a racist and promote the extremes
because they will be confronted by the Greek people as it happened back
home in recent days".
Prime Minister Samaras sent a message of optimism, saying that a new
era of prosperity begins for the country.
