One must note, that this interview was given to the German newspaper "Die Zeit". So its important to note, what he did not mention:

The repayment of Germans debt is only delayed till Germany has a peace treaty. The 2+4 contract is not a peace treaty, but deliberate "instead a peace treaty" just allows the Russian occupied part to join the US, UK and French occupied parts.

The Euro-Zone is facing a dilemma. A debt cut, followed by inflation and taxing of private assets, would require that Greece still has monetary sovereignty. But all Euro states, even Germany and France, gave up their monetary sovereignty. None of them is a complete sovereign state anymore. An obscure bureaucracy in BrĂ¼ssel is creating laws, that national governments just have to sign. And entering EU is like a roman Catholic marriage. A nation can join, but not leave EU.
