More quotes by Euclid Tsakalotos

It's a difficult deal, a deal for which only time will show if it is economically viable.

It is a very tough agreement, with many thorns, and as for the question of who will implement it, that depends on who the Greek people trust to negotiate debt restructuring.

I cannot hide from you that I am quite nervous. I am not taking on this job at the easiest point in Greek history.

I made a decision that will burden me for the rest of my life. I don't know if we did the right thing, however I do know that we felt like we had no other choice but do what we did.
