Greek singer Nana Mouskouri offers her pension to help end debt crisis
Mouskouri, whose best known songs include Greece , Land of Dreams (DRMN.OB - news) and The White Rose of Athens , served as a member of the European parliament for five years in the 1990s and draws a pension of around £14,700 from Brussels each year.
The diva, who recorded 1,500 songs during a career spanning half a century, said she would donate her pension "until the country emerges from the economic crisis."
She was upset by the way Greece had been portrayed around the world, she told the Eleftherotypia daily newspaper.
"I do not want Greece to be treated like a cancer," she said.
