NICOSIA Hydro Flask Coffee 16 Oz Coffee Lava Red Clearance , Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Monday that he will negotiate a new debt agreement for his country within the European Union and will not turn to Russia for a loan.
"We are engaged in substantial negotiations with our European partners and those who have lent us and we do have obligations towards them," Tsipras said after talks with Cyprus' president Nicos Anastasiades.
When asked whether Greece planned to request a loan from Russia, Tsipras said: "Right now, there are no other thoughts on the table."
Tsipras also said that a Grexit, that is Greece leaving the euro, was out of the question.
However Hydro Flask Coffee 12 Oz Coffee Black Clearance , he stressed that Greece and Cyprus are not two small countries on the southeastern edge of Europe, adding that both EU and the Eurozone would be torn apart along their southeastern flank without the two countries.
Tsipras arrived in fellow bailed-out Cyprus for his first foreign visit as prime minister before embarking on a European tour to convince the main European countries, including France and Germany, to accord his government more time to present a new economic program, which involves a roll back on austerity measures.
He is scheduled to visit Rome on Tuesday to join his Finance minister, Yanis Varoufakis Hydro Flask Coffee 12 Oz Coffee Olive Green Clearance , for talks with the Italian government on his plan to scrap a bailout economic adjustment program agreed by Greece and international lenders - the Eurogroup and the International Monetary Fund - four years ago.
Speaking at a press conference alongside Anastasiades, Tsipras called for the replacement of the troika, the teams of technocrats representing the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the IMF, who review progress of bailed out countries in implementing their economic adjustment programs.
"I believe that this would be a mature and necessary development for Europe," Tsipras said Hydro Flask Coffee 16 Oz Coffee Black Clearance , adding that the troika mechanism is not based on European law.
Anastasiades said that Greece and Cyprus are moving along a common line on economic issues, adding that both countries will jointly work on the European field to achieve a turn towards development policies.
"It is our common stance that in order to face current problems reforms are needed," he added.
Tsipras said that at his talks with Anastasiades, which lasted more than 90 minutes, they discussed the need for a coordinated policy to build a bridge of peace and cooperation between Europe and Russia.
Anastasiades hinted that Greece and Cyprus are in disagreement with suggestions about imposing further sanctions on Russia over Ukraine.
"We believe that the Minsk agreement and diplomatic means will give the answer to the problem. We'll work with other countries which share the same view," Anastasiades said.
Tsipras further said Greece strongly supports Cyprus' efforts for a solution to its long standing political problem through negotiations.

A rapid rise in the number of students of the language has created a generation of graduates that will have to look beyond government ministries and embassy postings to find work commensurate with their skills Hydro Flask Coffee 16 Oz Coffee Graphite Grey Clearance , as Zhao Xinying reports.
When Han Haifen chose to study Arabic as her college major in 2008, she didn't expect to work in the field for long.
"I wasn't interested in the language or cultures of the Arab states, and unlike a couple of my classmates whose families were doing business with Arab people, I didn't have a motive for studying the major."
Now, having worked for four years and visited a number of Arab countries on business, the 25-year-old has started to understand the fun of utilizing the language and communicating with Arab people.
"It's an advantage at work Hydro Flask Coffee 12 Oz Coffee Pacific Blue Clearance , and a self-enriching process in life," said Han from Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang province. "I wouldn't have had those experiences if I'd made a different choice."
Han enrolled at Zhejiang Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages in Shaoxing city in 2008. The college was enrolling the first students for its new Arabic major, and Han, who decided to apply on a whim, was one of them.
In 2011 Hydro Flask Coffee 16 Oz Coffee Cobalt Blue Clearance , armed with her skills in Arabic and business negotiations, Han landed a job with a garment export company and was sent to Morocco to promote its products and drum up new orders.
"Many of my classmates and alumni are doing similar jobs," said Han, who has transferred to a different company, but still deals with Arab-related trade.
Her story is a familiar one to Ma Chengwen, director of the Arabic language department at Han's alma mater Hydro Flask Coffee 16 Oz Coffee Pacific Blue Clearance , who said about 70,000 to 80,000 people from across the Arab world are running businesses in Yiwu, a city in Zhejiang province that's famous for the production and export of commodities such as garments and handicrafts.
Arab-run companies and Chinese businesses with connections to Arab countries also operate across South and East China, in places such as Hangzhou, Ningbo in Zhejiang province Hydro Flask Coffee 20 Oz Coffee Lava Red Clearance , and Guangzhou in Guangdong province.
"Large numbers of our graduates are needed in these places to handle phone calls, e-mails, or basic translation and interpreting work in Arabic," Ma said, adding that some students in the class due to graduate in June have already been hired. "It's a growing area."
Growth in China
In a research article, Chen Jiahou Hydro Flask Wine 10 Oz Wine Tumbler Black Clearance , a retired Peking University professor and expert on Arabic language and culture, wrote that Muslim merchants from Arabic countries brought the language to China during the Tang Dynasty (AD 618-907), and for a long time it was only comprehensible to Chinese Muslims.
