Pavlopoulos: Parthenon Sculptures' return finding leverage on the international scene
"The return of the Parthenon Sculptures to this Museum - the vision of Melina Mercouri - finds more and more leverage on the international scene," Greek President Prokopios Pavlopoulos said during a visit to the Acropolis Museum on Monday.
Pavlopoulos congratulated museum curator Dimitris Pandermalis "on the long-standing offer at the Acropolis Museum, which has led to the gradual recognition of the Museum, internationally," he added.
"Under these circumstances, I have the feeling that our great, truly national goal, is the return of the Parthenon Sculptures to this Museum - the vision of Melina Mercouri, to be fair with history - finds more and more leverage on the international scene. Of course this can not lead to complacency on our part. On the contrary, it increases our own responsibilities," Pavlopoulos underlined.
