Leda Mendoni

Greek Culture Minister Leda Mendoni on Wednesday reacted to a report on the Cretapost.gr news site based on a series of photographs taken by a group of Cretan tourists on a recent visit to the exhibit of the Parthenon marbles at the British Museum in London.

Culture Minister Leda Mendoni on Tuesday sought to play down concerns that by requesting a "loan" of the Parthenon sculptures from the British Museum, Greece will be tacitly acknowledging the UK's claims of ownership over the ancient Greek artifacts.
