Greece returns relics to Bulgaria, nudges UK over Parthenon marbles
Original: Greece returns priceless relics to Bulgaria – and suggests UK should follow suit with Parthenon marbles https://www. the
Greece has handed back to Bulgaria the remains of medieval Tsar Samuel, centuries after they were taken, in a gesture of cultural restitution between the two neighbours. Greek officials used the occasion to argue that Britain should follow the same principle and return the Parthenon marbles held by the British Museum. The move is being read as a pointed signal in Greece's long-running campaign for the sculptures' return.
Why now: The restitution gesture revives debate over the British Museum's refusal to return the Parthenon marbles.
