Greece Doesn't Need Another Bailout if Debt is Restructured – Greek FM

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis claimed that Greece does not need an additional bailout stressing this could only happen if the country's debt is restructured.

The remarks came after the Syriza government resumed talks with the troika of international creditors to unlock 7.2 billion euros ($8 billion). Earlier, in April, Greek Deputy Foreign Minister Euclid Tsakalotos was put at the helm of a new group conducting the negotiation. The group was previously headed by Varoufakis.
