Samaras on Amphipolis: This finding is of global importance

Prime Minister Antonis Samaras visited on Monday the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens, to attend an event for the repatriation of a 12th century manuscript that was stolen in 1960 from the Holy Monastery of Dionyssiou on Mount Athos.


During his visit at the museum, Mr. Samaras referred to the Amphipolis findings, making the following statement: "I only listen to the head of the excavation works at Amphipolis and her findings. This finding is of global importance, far beyond our narrow borders. This is why we have to be serious and reticent."

According to the prime minister, the supporting works at the tomb will continue until Thursday.
