Excerpt from [Bloomberg](http://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2015-02-19/there-s-a-25-chance-greece-will-leave-eu-economides) -- "I think that the Greek government will have a hard time convincing its voters that it didn't give in, but that is, in my opinion, a minor issue. The major issue is for Greece not to go bankrupt again, not to leave the euro... this is the major issue. So, it's crucially important for the Greek government to compromise and then find a way to sell it to its voters."
