Obama, Tsipras have phone conversation - Greek media
Greek media report that US President Barack Obama and new Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras had a phone conversation Wednesday evening.
According to TV channel STAR, Obama told Tsipras that Europe must steer away from austerity and pursue growth; Obama said he would help with this policy change, adding that the two countries' finance ministers should be in touch.
The TV channel reported that Obama told Tsipras to take a rest after such a tough election campaign, adding jokingly that he also started young and now hair had turned gray.
Tsipras reportedly replied that it would be difficult to rest, because he had great challenges ahead.
