Athens: Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Saturday warned the International Monetary Fund and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble to "stop playing with fire" in the handling of his country's debt crisis.

Opening a meeting of his Syriza party, Tsipras said he was confident that a solution would be found, a day after talks between Greece and its creditors ended in Brussels with no breakthrough.
