Greek PM says Athens not looking to Russia 'right now' for financial aid

The new Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras has expressed he is not interested in looking to Russia for financial aid 'right now'.

His remarks are described as deliberately ambiguous by some commentators as he makes his first moves to renegotiate Greece's huge international debt totaling 315 billion euro.

Most of the money is owed to Troika of the European Central Bank, the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund.
