  • [01] PARLIAMENT AID GREECE

    The Plenary of the House of Representatives approved on Thursday the bill for the financial aid of 60,6 million Euro to Greece.

    During the afternoon session of the Plenary, Stavrakis and Members of the House noted that the Cyprus financial aid to Greece may increase, if the final amount of the aid from the Eurozone changes.
