Some 60.6 percent of voters in the Sunday Greek referendum said "No" to the creditors' proposals to unlock new aid package to the debt-ridden country, the Interior Ministry said citing preliminary voting results.

ATHENS (Sputnik) — With 26.3 percent of votes counted, 39.4 percent of Greeks have supported the bailout deal.

On Sunday, Greek voters have been taking part in a referendum to determine whether Greece should accept the lenders-proposed bailout plan that envisages serious spending cuts and tax increases.
