Russia seeks to privatize its suffering ‘friend’ Greece — RT Business:
"Russian investors are pursuing deals to help cash-strapped Greece privatize its economy and pay off its huge debt. Russian Railways RZD may take a 100 percent state in Greek’s TRAINOSE, and Gazprom has renewed talks with state-owned gas company DEPA.
Valentina Matviyenko, the Speaker of the upper house of Russia's Parliament has expressed her government's vested interest in the Greek economy. She's traveling with a group of Russian investors looking to to get a slice of Greece's privatization.
"Our position is that would not be an acquisition of assets, but rather a support for friendly Greece at the complicated economic stage," Matvienko said.
Greece hopes privatization and expansion of the railway will help it contribute to the 19 billion euro target Greece aims to raise to cut debt. Greece has received over $315 billion (240 billion euros) since 2010 from Troika lenders. "
