[01] Return of Parthenon Marbles an international request
ROME (ANA/Th. Andreadis-Syngelakis)--- Culture Minister Lydia Koniordou
participated in a roundtable on the Parthenon Marbles in the context
of an international scientific meeting on Archaeology held in Florence.
In a statement to Athens Macedonian News Agency Koniordou said that the
claim for the return of the Parthenon Marbles can't stop. It is something
that every generation and every political leadership should continue to
promote and support. Today, this fair request is not only Greek. It has
allies in twenty international committees which participate in this
common effort. The request is not Greek anymore but international
because this monument is now considered, in the conscience of the
international community and of the people worldwide, the symbol of the
western civilisation and the emblem of the fundamental principles of
democracy, dialogue, justice, free spirit and equality.
"Today that we all join our voices with solidarity before the challenges
of the 21st century, the restoration of the monument gets another symbolic
value. The solution is not easy and for this reason it is imperative to
continue our efforts" said Koniordou.
