“Greece is in preliminary talks with the British Parthenon Sculpture Museum,” the Guardian reported in the article, citing State Minister Giorgos Herapetritis as a source.

“It is true that there is a dialogue between the Greek government and the British Museum. We are currently in preliminary talks and yes, I have met with British Museum chairman George Osborne,” Gerapetritis told The Guardian.

Speaking a few days ago at the Hellenic Observatory event at the London School of Economics, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said: “We are seeing progress. I don’t want to talk publicly about the discussions that took place. But I believe there is a broader understanding that perhaps a mutually beneficial solution could be found that would lead to the reunification of the Parthenon sculptures in Greece, and also given the problems the British Museum might have. At the moment I don’t want to say anything publicly. But I repeat that I feel an impulse.”

At the same time, the Guardian cites as a source today’s Ta Nea front-page publication, which refers to “secret contacts between Mitsotakis, Dendias and Herapetritis with the president of the British Museum in London” under the heading “Four Secret Meetings”. about the sculptures.
