Prime minister tells Greek TV he will not resign and defends his abrupt change of course over debt crisis
The Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, has defended the bailout agreed at Sunday's eurozone summit and ruled out resigning, saying it was a bad deal but the best available under the circumstances.
"I am fully assuming my responsibilities, for mistakes and for oversights, and for the responsibility of signing a text that I do not believe in, but that I am obliged to implement," Tsipras told Greek public television on Tuesday.
