Greece aims to reach deal with euro zone lenders soon- govt spokesman

ATHENS, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Greece aims to conclude a deal with its euro zone partners "soon", its government spokesman said on Thursday.

"We are doing everything to reach a mutually beneficial agreement. Our aim is to conclude this agreement soon," Gabriel Sakellaridis told Skai TV. "We are trying to find the common points."

Greece is expected to ask on Thursday for an extension to its "loan agreement" with the euro zone as it faces running out of cash within weeks, but it must overcome resistance from sceptical partners led by Germany.
