The Daily Telegraph: British public opinion in favor of Parthenon Marbles' return to Greece
Two articles published in British newspapers The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian directly support arguments for the return of the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum to Greece, penned only a few days after Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis' London visit, who raised the issue in his meeting with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
Returning Parthenon Sculptures to Greece is a matter of principle, as much as it is a political issue
The full spectrum of Greece-United Kingdom relations and ways to deepen these further yet was discussed at the meeting of Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at 10 Downing Street in London on Tuesday, said Greek government sources.
Coordinated Greek diplomatic action leads to the first important UNESCO’s Decision on the return of the Parthenon Sculptures
Thanks to concerted diplomatic actions of Greece, the UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Committee for Promoting the Return of Cultural Property to its Countries of Origin (ICPRCP) issued for the first time a Decision, not only a recommendation, regarding the issue of returning the sculptures of Parthenon to Greece, as we used to do the years before. This decision (22.COM 17), which was adopted unanimously last September at the Committee’s 22nd session, acknowledges the just request of our country and for the first time the United Kingdom is invited to enter into a dialogue with Greece.
