The majority of Greek voters have rejected the reform proposals from the country's creditors, in a crucial referendum that could set the path for Greece leaving the Eurozone.

Despite fears of a "Grexit," Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the result was not a mandate to clash with Europe. Meanwhile, Greek citizens celebrated despite uncertainty ahead.

 "No" supporters celebrate their victory in the referendum by the parliament in Athens, Greece July 5, 2015. Greeks voted overwhelmingly "No" on Sunday in a historic bailout referendum, defying warnings from across Europe that rejecting new austerity terms for fresh financial aid would set their country on a path out of the euro.
