[01] Overseas Greek archaeological institute to open in Rome
Greece's first overseas archaeological institute, set to operate in
Rome, will open its doors in late January 2006, the government
reiterated on Thursday.
Similar state-supported institutes are planned for Cyprus, the Ukraine,
Albania, Alexandria and Romania, Deputy Culture Minister Petros
Tatoulis said on Thursday, during a briefing of reporters.
Meanwhile, in response to a relevant question, Tatoulis referred to a
second letter received by the government from the US-based Getty
Museum, following Athens' demand for the return of four ancient
artifacts held by the museum, items believed to have been illegally
excavated and shipped out of the country.
He said Athens' next steps in its case for the artifacts will be
determined next month.
