Prime Minister Antonis Samaras expressed his satisfaction over the results of the stress tests conducted by the European Central Bank on eurozone banks which were officially released on Sunday.

In a written statement, Samaras said, "The stress tests of Greek banks exceeded every expectation. We are now exiting the crisis step by step, on strong foundations. This is the only way to create a new Greece which is proud, financially strong and socially just. Nobody must be allowed to interrupt this course."
