Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras announced his resignation on Thursday to open the possibility of early general elections, Sputnik reported.
Alexis Tsipras said that the January 25 mandate he received "had exhausted its limit, and now people should decide anew," adding that he "doubted the agreement with creditors was enough".
Earlier on Thursday a source in the Greek government told Sputnik the decision to hold an early election was taken after more than 35 legislators voted against the third international bailout package.
