"Britain is isolated on the issue of the Parthenon Sculptures. Greece's request for reunification will remain on the table, as it has been for more than four decades since it was submitted to UNESCO. We will continue our campaign and urge Greece to continue asking the Museum's trustees and Britain to do what is right: return the sculptures, but not as loans, to their natural environment, the Acropolis Museum," Paul Cartledge, professor emeritus of Greek culture at Cambridge University and vice-chair of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Marbles (BCRPM), told TA NEA.
"It is very sad that Mr Sunak has cancelled his meeting with Mr Mitsotakis. The Parthenon Sculptures were just one of the topics for discussion, among other very important issues. The dialogue between Athens and the British Museum, the pressure on the British establishment and politicians must continue. I am confident that in the end a satisfactory solution will be found, acceptable to all parties," Dr. Chris Tytgat, President of the International Association for the Reunification of Sculptures (IARPS), told TA NEA.
