(VOVworld) - Greece's new parliament was sworn in Thursday and gathered for the first time since last month's election, which brought the left-wing to power for the 1^st time since World War II. The meeting, called by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, assessed the debt crisis, which was addressed in meetings between the prime minister and European officials over the past few days.
