Tsipras will meet tomorrow with Putin, Medvedev and Kirill

(ANSA) - MOSCOW - During his visit to Moscow tomorrow, Greek Premier Alexis Tsipras will meet not only with Russian President Vladimir Putin, but also with Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev and Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church. This was announced by the head of Greek government in an interview with Tass. Tsipras will also hold a conference at the University of Moscow. Greece and Russia share the same Orthodox faith. A discount on gas deliveries and new loans are among the possible offers that Moscow could make tomorrow during Tsipras's visit, the business daily newspaper Kommersant reported today, citing a source in the Russian government, according to which Moscow wants in return access to Greek assets, as yet unspecified. In 2003 Russia's Gazprom wanted to buy Greece's state-owned Public Gas Corporation DEPA, but then dropped its bid not having received sufficient guarantees on the company's financial position.
