WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On Sunday, more than 61 percent of Greeks voted against austerity measures proposed by Athens' major international creditors — the European Central Bank, IMF and other eurozone nations — including pension cuts and tax increases.

“It would be a very bad analysis that the vote in Greece was against NATO. It is not a vote against the alliance or the West,” Le Drian said.

The vote has renewed fears of a Greek default and exit from the Eurozone.

Greece is one of the 28 NATO member states, it joined the alliance in 1952.
