Just hours before an extraordinary Eurogroup meeting on the third bailout deal, Greece's parliament approved the corresponding aid package amounting to 85 billion euro ($94 billion).

BERLIN (Sputnik) — German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said he was confident of success in Friday's talks on the Greek issue, where he and his Eurozone counterparts are expected to reach an agreement on a third bailout deal for Athens.

"I am confident in the fact that we are going to get a result today," Schaeuble said as he arrived for the meeting of all eurozone finance ministers in Brussels.
