ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greece's prime minister is ruling out early elections if ongoing bailout talks with the country's international creditors fail.

In an interview with private Star TV, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said early Tuesday that he has no reason to hold a snap vote.

Tsipras was elected just three months ago on a pledge to alleviate economic suffering in the financially struggling country.

But Tsipras did not exclude seeking a referendum on the issue, adding that he is confident the marathon talks will result in an agreement.
