Greek Leader Will Ask Johnson for U.K. to Return Elgin Marbles (2024)

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis met the U.K.’s Boris Johnson in London and explicitly stated that the famed Elgin Marbles should be returned to Athens. He didn’t appear to make much ground.

“I raised the issue with prime minister Johnson today and I very much intend to continue working hard until the Parthenon sculptures have been returned permanently to the Acropolis museum,” Mitsotakis said at an event at the Science Museum.
