Greece Crisis Talks Extended as Deal Remains Elusive 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
The standoff between Greece and European creditors continues with a deal
still out of reach. Talks have been extended to the weekend, after both
sides failed to reach an agreement on Thursday. Creditors want Greece to
accept an austerity package in exchange for new loans that would help it
avoid a default. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he's confident
the impasse can be resolved.

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras: "I think that European history is
full of disagreements, negotiations and then compromises. So, after the
comprehensive Greek proposals, I am confident that we will reach the
compromise that will help eurozone and Greece to overcome the crisis."
