Greek culture

The Council of State is reversing the way building is done in downtown Athens after ruling that construction within the Commercial Triangle will have to be checked by the Central Archaeological Council, both in terms of height and the creation of new hotels.

Greece is these days discovering how important the Greek expat community is for national interests, especially in the United States.

We are not talking about large crowds of people or huge financial contributions. And yet, a few Greek Americans, working with some top members of Congress, have made a difference.

Achieving an agreement for the permanent return of the Parthenon Sculptures to Greece by the British Museum "is difficult, but not impossible," said Culture Minister Lina Mendoni in Parliament on Monday, reiterating the government's stance that she says "remains national, unanimous, consistent and clear."

The Parthenon Sculptures could be "homeward bound," according to the lead article in the London "Times" on Thursday.

Sources within the Culture Ministry have dismissed a report by Bloomberg on Tuesday that the British Museum and Athens' Acropolis Museum are nearing a deal that would see the Parthenon Sculptures returned to Greece over time as part of a cultural exchange.

The deal would putt an end to a feud over historical artifacts that dates back to the 1800s.
