Greece has requested for a key payment to the International Monetary Fund to be postponed from its Tuesday deadline, as the country scrambles to stave off default and a possible messy exit from the eurozone.
"We have filed a request with the IMF asking it to take the initiative to delay the payment until November," deputy prime minister Ioannis Dragasakis said in an interview on ERT television.
