Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Thursday it was time for both Greece and Europe to "turn the page" on austerity, telling members of his hard-left Syriza party that "fear is over".
"The time has come to turn the page, not just for Greece but for Europe too," Tsipras told Syriza lawmakers, as parliament convened for the first time since January 25 elections that swept his party to power.
