Greek crisis: "Agreement reached" after marathon talks - VIDEO
Greece reached a desperately-needed bailout deal with the eurozone on Monday after marathon overnight talks, in a historic agreement to prevent the country crashing out of the European single currency.
The country`s leftist Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras agreed to tough reforms after 17 hours of gruelling negotiations in return for a three-year bailout worth up to 86 billion euros, Greece`s third rescue programme in five years.

EU President Donald Tusk announced the deal for debt-stricken Greece on Twitter, ending a bitter six-month struggle between Tsipras`s anti-austerity government in Athens and the rest of the eurozone.

The agreement will require ratification by the Greek parliament.
