A student from Kyrgyzstan stole the show during the Greek Prime Minister’s speech at the Institute of International Relations in Moscow by speaking to him in fluent Greek. Greek PM Alexis Tsipras and his wife were surprised when some students welcomed them in Greek upon their arrival at the institute. Even more so when the audience addressed questions to Mr. Tsipras after the speech and a student from Kyrgyzstan asked a question in fluent Greek. The young man took the microphone and said that he is the first student from Kyrgyzstan who is studying the Greek language to the audience’s applause. The student said that he wants to become a diplomat and work in Greece and asked the Greek Prime Minister if the two countries will establish diplomatic relations. “After your presence here that has filled us with joy, seeing how well you speak the Greek language, I can promise you that as soon as we open a consulate, you will be the first Greek consul there,” was Alexis Tsipras’ response.
