In a sometimes stormy debate in the European Parliament, he said: "Let's not let Europe be divided".
Greece
must present new proposals by the end of Thursday to reach a deal with
creditors, before a full European Union summit on Sunday.
Mr Tsipras said proposals were being worked on but failed to give details.
The
Greek prime minister said he was "confident" that Greece could meet
"its obligations in the interests of Greece and the eurozone" over the
next few days.
He was greeted by both boos and cheers as he entered the chamber,
where he criticised previous bailouts for turning Greece into an
"austerity laboratory".
"However, this experiment, I think all of us have to accept, has not been a success," he told the parliament in Strasbourg.
Mr
Tsipras was speaking only days after the Greek people decisively
rejected the latest proposals from creditors in a referendum.
The Greek people "stood up and were counted - we have to listen to what they said."
