guy Posted November 29, 2023 Report Share Posted November 29, 2023 (edited) There have been many posts in the past about the controversial Elgin marbles and their return to Greece (see below). Once again, they are in the news. Earlier this week British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak abruptly cancelled his scheduled meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis after Mitsotakis appeared on British TV and demanded the repatriation of the statues and frieze panels that once decorated the Parthenon. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-67549044.amp Edited November 29, 2023 by guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
