Greek Prime Minister George papandreou during his visit in Washington talked at the Brookings Institution about relations between Greece and the United States. He compared the current crisis with the crisis of 1947 that led President Truman to the Marshall Plan.
“I have come to Washington this week to speak about another crisis in Europe” said Papandreou.
“This crisis, too, revolves in part around Greece. This crisis, too, very much involves America’s interests. And as in 1947, if we act with sufficient foresight, I believe this crisis also contains opportunities, great opportunities to strengthen our respective countries and our shared interests for decades to come.”
