"The Greek PSI (debt writedown) was a gift to Greece," Shiarly told Reuters.


What do you ELAM boys think of Christofias now?

INTERVIEW 1-Cyprus minister won't rule out privatisation in bailout
http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/news/thomson-reuters/130118/interview-1-cyprus-minister-wont-rule-out-privatisation-bailout

a choice quote -
The east Mediterranean island has in the past blamed its banks' exposure to Greece for its woes. However it is the first time a minister in government is known to have publicly described the writedown, approved by EU leaders - and by Shiarly's boss, the Cypriot president - as a mistake.

"There are many people in Europe who believe that it was a mistake to go for a PSI. I say it as well," said Shiarly.

It's a gift where they took the maximum from Greece with one hand and gave back a few crumbs with the other.
