Greek PM Tsipras seeks debt relief as Greeks take offer to Brussels

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said he was willing to accept unpalatable compromises to secure a deal with international creditors, provided he gets debt relief in return.
Athens must repay 1.6 billion euros to the IMF with money it does not have. Greek ministers arrived in Brussels on Saturday to resume negotiations with international creditors on a cash-for-reforms deal that ended in stalemate on Thursday.
The counter-proposal offering concessions on budget issues is designed to break the deadlock that is threatening Greece’s future in the euro zone.
Tsipras made it clear he was willing to give ground but with strings attached that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is highly unlikely to accept.
