With a meaningful statement from its general manager, Nikolaos Chr. Stampolidis, the Acropolis Museum takes a position on the indecency of the British Prime Minister, Rishi Sounak, to cancel his meeting with Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

The request for the reunification of the Parthenon Marbles is a request that arises from law, from history and from universal cultural values, Foreign Minister George Gerapetritis said when asked about his meeting with his British counterpart, David Cameron, upon his arrival for the second day of the NATO foreign ministers' meeting in Brussels on Wednesday.

Today's opinion article by the Bloomberg agency entitled "Greece's Elginia Marbles are not Britain's to keep" is of great interest. The author of the piece, Rachel Sanderson, among other things refers to the recent decision of Pope Francis to return to Greece three fragments of the Parthenon Sculptures as a "sincere desire to follow the universal path of truth" as characteristically pointed out in the relevant announcement of the Vatican.
