Tsipras: Their plan was to end hope for a different policy in Europe

The Greek PM, Alexis Tsipras, gave an interview to the Greek public broadcaster - ERT.

Key points:

Greeks will survive even without program and they will go to vote.

We will not drop democracy.

We did everything to achieve an agreement.

The target of the other side was to make us fully adopt their positions, not to negotiate.

They will not drop us out of euro because the cost will be enormous, this is my estimation. Their plan was to end hope that there could be a different policy in Europe.

They gave us an 48 hours ultimatum, so now we should ask people. People should decide.

Their choice to block referendum by cutting the program will be written in the dark pages of history.

Referendum is the continuation of the negotiations in other terms.

We expect first of all from the European leaders to respect the democratic right of the people to vote.

IMF didn't supply Greece with liquidity since the summer of 2014, but wants all the money back.

If the Greek people want a humiliated president they can choose. There are many out there, but not me.

The creditors will retreat on a powerful will by the Greek people.
