«Α. Σαμαράς: First of all, welcome to Greece. As you know, we are in the middle of a lot of political and geopolitical turmoil in the region. But within this difficult circumstance, Greece is standing stable. And this is very important, if you go back and think about it, a year ago who would have thought so? But the situation is in many ways alarming in terms of what is going on around the world and we hope things will get better. And this stability serves to create the necessary conditions for what we all want, just growth. And again thank you for coming here and thank you for being a friend of Greece.

G. Westerwelle: Thank you so much for the invitation, for the hospitality. It’s really a great pleasure to be back again in Athens. And I will just summarize it in a very short sentence: My message is a message of respect, solidarity and encouragement. I think the ship starts when you are at coast, the sails are set into development in Greece which will bring more prosperity in the future to the people of the country. That’s the reason why we are here, to express our solidarity, to send a message of encouragement and that we think that Greece will make it.

Α. Σαμαράς: We had a good discussion in Berlin yesterday all of us about unemployment, especially youth unemployment. I think it went very well. It’ s a discussion that will continue in Paris later, so we are really focusing on this and that’ s important also. Thank you».
