Cyprus leader Anastasiades attacks bank bailout terms

Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades has urged eurozone leaders to revise the terms of his country's bank bailout, in a highly critical letter.

However, Eurozone officials mentioned that they had no intention of changing the terms of a bailout for Cyprus, rejecting calls by Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades who had asked for adjustments to be made to the rescue plan.
