Crisis recalls echoes of Argentina in 2002

Greece's economic and financial troubles are stirring up special feelings among the people of Argentina, whose country underwent a similar woeful episode 12 years ago.

The public in the South American country has been closely following events in Greece, where a referendum on Sunday ended with a resounding "No" to an austerity-driven bailout proposal.

Argentina's media have been making comparisons and issuing warnings, especially since economist Santiago Carbo published an article in the conservative Spanish daily El Pais saying that Greece is Europe's Argentina.
