Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke about the issue of the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Greece with Associate Editor of The Daily Telegraph Gordon Rayner, in a vis-à-vis interview held on Saturday, ANA reports.
“Our stance is clear, the marbles were stolen in the 19th century, they belong to the Acropolis Museum, and we have to discuss the issue in all sincerity and honesty,” the Greek premier told Rayner, who is currently in Greece on the occasion of the start of the GR-Eco Islands green program at the remote island of Chalki.
“Refusing to discuss the issue of the Parthenon Marbles appears to me as being an anachronistic approach, considering all that’s happened regarding the return of cultural treasures,” Mitsotakis noted.
