The Divine Greek prime minister said the experts defaulted words of Homer

"Close your ears and not listen to the Sirens, who are predicting catastrophe", – said George Papandreou, speaking to fellow citizens on the island of Kos in the Aegean Sea. According to him, Greece disprove negative assumptions and overcome the crisis "with dignity". In the ancient Greek epic "The Odyssey" describes the siren – the insidious poluptitsy-poluzhenschiny who lured sailors beautiful songs to perdition on his enchanted island. Hero of the poem Odysseus managed to escape from the sirens when close up the ears of his companions with wax, and he became attached to the mast of the ship. Greece is struggling with the prospect of default, which is tipped by many international analysts, saying that the country will not be able to refinance the 350-billion-dollar debt even with the 110-billion credit support for the EU and the IMF. Greek parliament in June adopted another budget program by 28 billion euros by 2015 and pledged to privatize state assets at 50 billion euros in the hope of a new multibillion-dollar package of loans. But partners in the euro area and the IMF, although it decided to allocate another 12 billion tranche of aid have not been able to agree on further lending to the country.
