PM Tsipras in parliament: Elections will occur at the end of the four-year term

National elections in Greece will take place at the end of the four-year term, in October, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Friday, responding to main opposition leader Kyriakos Mitsotakis during the plenary discussion on ratifying FYROM's accession to NATO.

"In Greece, elections will be held at the end of the four-year term, you'd better get used to it," Tsipras said, adding in reference to European Parliamentary elections in May, "you will suffer a terrible disappointment of your expectations at the European election ballot box," because the Greek people will realize that polls giving Mitsotakis' party New Democracy a lead "were fake."

"All your narratives have been proven wrong," he said.
