Antonis Samaras met Georgia for the first time during a meeting of New Democracy in the region of Nea Erihtrea - a wealthy suburb of Athens on the northern outskirts of the capital. The year was 1989. He was 34 years old - a promising young politician with ambitions. She was 24 years old, a student in engineering and the daughter of the famous industrialist at that time Akis Kritikos.

He is the 13th Prime Minister of Greece since the restoration of democratic order after the fall of the junta in 1974. Reshuffles in the list of future ministers continue.

Reports of permanent unrest, clashes between discontented citizens and police, burned banks and closed companies are leaving a bitter taste in outside observers. Here is how Nicholas Kelaiditis from the Hellenic Association of Travel and Tourist Agencies commented on the developments exclusively for GRReporter.

Antonis Samaras will take oath today and the ministers - tomorrow.

Technocrats and people with broad public support will be involved in the government of consensus.

Rumours have been circulating for several days now and a statement by Alpha Bank is expected today, which is required to comment on them as it is listed on the Athens Stock Exchange.
