[01] KKE: War crimes not forgotten

"We promise to stand by these people and to press the Greek government to demand, at last, what is owed by Germany, dating back to WWII ... We refer mostly to the so-called occupation 'loan', reparations and the return of antiquities that the Germans illegaly took," she said, adding:

"We don't believe that these crimes have a statute of limitation, war crimes are not forgotten. We will ask the government, which bears the responsibility to keep the matter alive, to take a clear position before the Greek people and the Commission."
