Greece’s Varoufakis says ‘accident’ in debt row is ‘dangerously close’

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis warned on Thursday that “an accident” in the bitter dispute between Greece and its EU-IMF creditors over unlocking vital bailout cash for Athens was drawing “dangerously close.”

“I said we are dangerously close to a state of mind which accepts an accident. I told my colleagues not to accept such thinking,” Varoufakis said after talks with Greeces eurozone partners broke up with no deal, increasing the risk of a Greek exit from the euro. [AFP]
