Outgoing US President Barack Obama is sending his own message of support for the Greek government and Greek citizens, days before he arrives in Athens for a two-day visit.
In an interview with the Athens daily “Kathimerini”, the two-term US president cites the long-standing US-Greece alliance and underlines that Washington will stick by Greece as the latter proceeds with painful reforms and ensures a humane treatment for refugees.
