“In
talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the telephone on
Thursday, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras confirmed the Greek
government's willingness to participate - via a public-sector company
- in the construction of a pipeline carrying Russian natural gas
through Greece, the prime minister's office announced.”
“The
Russian president said that he intended to support a plan for
financing the Greek company building the pipeline, which will
transport gas from the Greek-Turkish border to the rest of Europe, to
be used in energy and developmental investments, and which might be
paid off from the profits of the company operating the pipeline.”
“Apart
from energy cooperation, the conversation also touched on all aspects
of bilateral relations and Tsipras' upcoming participation in an
International Economic Forum to be held in St. Petersburg on 18-20
June. The two leaders reaffirmed their willingness to proceed with
everything agreed on during Tsipras' recent visit to Moscow, in order
to boost bilateral relations.”

... the details of the new
agreement show that Russia probably wants to put Greece back in
the game, seeing that there are dramatic changes in the political
landscape not only in Greece, but also in Europe that could change
dramatically the geopolitical status.
