Greece does not recognize that the British Museum has any legal ownership rights to the Parthenon Sculptures, as they are a product of theft, the Ministry of Culture said in a statement on Thursday and added that this is a fixed Greek position on the issue, ANA reports.
The ministry responded to foreign news reports during the last two days that asserted the Greek government and the Museum are close to reaching an agreement that would bring the Sculptures to Greece on loan and in exchange for other objects borrowed from Greek museums.
