Guvernul atenian cere Londrei restituirea frizelor Partenonului

Greece has long requested the return of the Parthenon marbles from the British Museum. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis urged the UK government to show courage in resolving this historical dispute. The marbles, originally part of the Parthenon, were removed in the 19th century by Lord Elgin, who claimed legal acquisition. Greece argues this was theft. While some fragments have been returned, a British law prevents further restitution. Mitsotakis highlighted a recent loan of the Bayeux Tapestry as a potential model for resolution, but he rejects acknowledging British ownership of the marbles.
