Greek Minister of Culture, Lina Mendoni, made a statement after a London Fashion Week show took place in front of the Parthenon Marbles at the British Museum.
"By organizing a fashion show in the halls where the Parthenon Sculptures are exhibited, the British Museum, once again, proves its zero respect for the masterpieces of Pheidias," Mendoni said in a statement.

"The directors of the British Museum trivialize and insult not only the monument but also the universal values that it transmits. The conditions of display and storage of the sculptures, at the Duveen Gallery, are constantly deteriorating. It is time for the stolen and abused sculptural masterpieces to shine in the Attic light," she added.

The recording of the oral history of the Greeks of Australia and the creation of an extensive archive is the subject of the Memorandum of Cooperation, which was co-signed by the Minister of Culture and Sports Lina Mendoni and the Archbishop of Australia, Mr. Blissful.

Twenty-nine Greek antiquities, sold by smugglers, from Macedonia, Epirus, Central Greece, the Cyclades and Crete, which ended up in the USA, through the criminal networks of the illegal trafficking of cultural goods, are returning to Greece.
