” We must move away from the stereotype of the lazy Greeks who were victims of the Nazi Germans. That said the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras tonight after a conversation with Merkel, reports Reuters. He wants to eliminate the diseased relationship between Greece and Germany.

Tsipras condemned the latest cover of the German magazine Der Spiegel , which Merkel photoshopped a picture of Nazi officers for the Acropolis. He called the cover “extremely unfair for the Chancellor and for Germany”.

The outcome of the consultations between Merkel and Tsipras was not groundbreaking. Germany and Greece now know where they can agree and disagree, says Tsipras afterwards. Merkel said in turn that Germany all European allies as equal looks, reports Reuters.



“While there are 80 million people living in Germany and we are the largest economy in the European Union, Europe is built on the principle that each country is equally important – no matter how much population has it. “- Merkel

Tsipras today came not only to Berlin to discuss the Greek debt and the drastic cuts where he would stop doing the most. He also came to strengthen ties with Germany, after the relationships on the razor had run in recent weeks.

Earlier today released the Greek Government that wants to see the money from defense companies, mainly from Germany, because they would have won in the past with bribes orders from Greece. It was not the first time the Greeks were turning out to Germany. Earlier still demanded Tsipras compensation for occupation by the Nazis in World War II
