Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis told Greek newspaper Ta Nea:
“The brave stance taken by The Times of London to support the return and reunification of the Parthenon Sculptures on the Acropolis is an important development. Fifty years on, it responds to a cultural request by all humanity.
“It is in line with the spirit of millions of people in the United Kingdom. And it justifies the Greek state's systematic effort regarding a political and moral issue; an issue of justice and culture which has a universal dimension.
“Therefore, no distance can now separate the Sculptures from their historic birthplace, the Holy Rock of Athens and the Acropolis Museum. On the contrary, initiatives such as that of The Times shorten the distance this issue creates in Greek-British relations. And they show the way that leads them to a new, brighter chapter.”
