Eurozone leaders avoided an imminent Greek exit from the eurozone Monday by agreeing to launch negotiations on a new bailout programme for the cash-strapped country following marathon talks in Brussels, dpa reported. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said Monday's deal had involved "difficult decisions and hard dilemmas." The new three-year bailout, estimated at between 80 and 86 billioneuros (89-95 billion dollars), is subject to approval by several national parliaments, including those of Greece and Germany, the biggest creditor nation in the eurozone.
