Athens: Greece is set to vote in a referendum today to decide whether to accept the debt draft deal with international creditors to restart financial aid to the country or reject the lenders&rsquo; programme that requires Greeks to accept further austerity measures and economic reforms.

According to the International Monetary Fund, the Greek debt load is unsustainable and it needs a debt relief in exchange for reforms and a new 50-billion euro ($5.5 billion) financing package until 2018 to stay afloat. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has urged a &lsquo;No&rsquo; vote from citizens, saying it would strengthen the government&rsquo;s hands in debt talks with creditors.
Earlier on Thursday, the Leftist leader said he was confident that the reforms-for-cash debt deal Greece has been seeking for five months with creditors will be reached within 48 hours after today&rsquo;s referendum regardless of the result. European leaders say that such a result may well lead to Greece&rsquo;s exit from the Eurozone.
