Speaking to
lawmakers of his Syriza party on the day a new parliament was
sworn in, the premier said he aimed to complete the first review
of a 86 billion euro bailout agreed in August as soon as
possible so Athens could open negotiations with its euro zone
partners on debt relief.
"Implementing the bailout is not going to be easy. But we are
obliged to make these decisions although we don't like them.
It's necessary, in order to exit this system of surveillance and
immediately start the discussion on the debt issue," he said.
"Our main target is to exit this system of supervision, and
regain market access. But a necessary condition for that is to
return to growth," Tsipras added.
