Greek debt crisis: You have duty to vote 'No', says PM Tsipras

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has urged Greeks to vote 'No' in Sunday's referendum, which will decide if his country should accept the terms of a bailout package.

In a national TV address, Mr Tsipras said that Greeks had a duty to reject the deal for their parents, their children, and themselves.

On Tuesday, eurozone finance ministers refused to extend the previous bailout and Athens missed the deadline for a €1.5bn (£1.1bn, $1.7bn) payment to the IMF.
