The issue of the Sculptures is not typically on the agenda of the meeting, however, it is certainly the topic that monopolizes the interest of the meeting
Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ meeting with the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, in Downing Street lasted about 35 minutes, which ended without any statements being made.
The Greek Prime Minister crossed the threshold of Downing Street shortly before 13:00 with the aim of restarting bilateral relations at all levels and with the Parthenon Sculptures as a background.
According to what he reported the correspondent of SKAI in London, Thanasis Gavos, the question of the Sculptors is not typically on the agenda of the meeting, but it is certainly the topic that monopolizes interest.
He also pointed out that although things are going well, no announcement on the issue is expected today.
Yes, the British Prime Minister is expected to refer the matter to discussions with the British Museum.
It is recalled that yesterday, Monday, the government representative, Pavlos Marinakis, stated that the issue will be raised during the meeting, denying, at the same time, a report by Sky News that there were private meetings between the Prime Minister and officials of the British Museum on the matter.
From the Prime Minister’s side, the constant Greek argumentation in support of the request is expected to unfold, where the integrity of the monument occupies a dominant position.
