New York Times: Eurozone Ministers Hold Emergency Talks on Greece
BRUSSELS — Eurozone finance ministers are meeting here on Friday for the latest round of emergency talks aimed at breaking the deadlock with Greece, a day after Germany rejected a request by Athens to extend a critical loan program.
The meeting — the third of its kind in two weeks — comes as the anti-austerity government in Athens continues to balk at demands from Germany and other eurozone countries that it abide by the terms of a bailout program that a previous government agreed to in 2012.
