ATHENS, Greece, Shawwal 8, 1436, Jul 24, 2015, SPA -- Greece is formally inviting the International Monetary Fund to join its negotiations with European creditors over a vital third bailout talks that were delayed Friday by logistics but are expected to conclude before Greece faces another big repayment Aug. 20, AP cited Greek officials as saying.. Negotiators are now expected to arrive in Athens over the weekend with talks probably starting Monday, the officials said. Athens is looking to secure yet another bailout, the third since its finances imploded in 2009, worth 85 billion euros ($93 billion) over three years. Without the money, the country faces imminent bankruptcy and a probable exit from the shared euro currency. Greek government spokeswoman Olga Gerovasili said the final bailout agreement will be brought to Greece's parliament for approval on Aug. 18. --SPA 21:01 LOCAL TIME 18:01 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
