Antonis Samaras noted: "Now, gradually, all of Europe is converging on what we were insisting on over the past two years that, apart of all the rest, growth is necessary for us to exit from the crisis,"

François Hollande told: "Through [the media's] intervention, the Greeks must know that they must trust in my behaviour in relation to Greece. At the same time, however, we have the demands that have been made arising from the commitments between Greece and Europe and there must be no doubts, either as to Europe's intentions nor as to the intentions of Greece. We must be together and I have no other outcome to prepare for apart from that,"

François Hollande said: "We cannot let the Greeks think that there will be no accompanying support. This support will exist from the moment they choose to give their presence in the eurozone a consistency and strength that will inspire confidence in Europeans,"

Giorgi Gogia said: "It is stunning that, as the world tunes in to watch performers sing their hearts out at Eurovision, the Azerbaijani government won't allow even the smallest opening for its own citizens to express themselves,"

Giorgi Gogia said: "The only thing that differentiated the opposition activists who were pinned down and then forcefully taken away from the dozens of other people milling around the area was that they shouted 'Freedom,'" "It was incredible to watch how the simplest attempt to speak freely was met with such violence"

Giorgi Gogia said: "It's appalling that the EBU, which has committed itself to supporting freedom of expression, has refused to publicly condemn the government's mistreatment of protesters this week," "If the EBU doesn't speak out in defense of its principles now, as free expression is trampled during the Eurovision Song Contest in Baku, then its credibility is at stake"
