A pesar de las repetidas demandas de las autoridades griegas, el Reino Unido se niega a devolver los mármoles del Partenón que están en el British Museum. Según las investigaciones de la jurista griega Catharine Titi, invitada de Escala en París, no hay ningún argumento jurídico que sostenga la postura de Londres, como lo examina en el libro ‘The Parthenon Marbles and International Law' (Springer, 2023), que se podría traducir como ‘Los Mármoles de Partenón y la ley internacional'.

Having something for long a time one could start thinking, rightly or wrongly, that it is yours. The Elgin Marbles, also known as the Parthenon Marbles, are Greek sculptures that have been housed in the British Museum for more than 200 years. As Claudia explains, the Marbles were taken controversially from the Parthenon in Athens by Lord Elgin in the early 19th century. It is believed they were forcibly removed and sold to the British government, sparking a debate that continues to this day. This is a classic 'Over Here, Over There' issue about how the Greek and British governments each view this intractable matter. But let's leave it to Claudia to offer a solution and tell us why it is important not only to these two countries but to world heritage. 

A pesar de las repetidas demandas de las autoridades griegas, el Reino Unido se niega a devolver las míticas esculturas que están en el British Museum. Según las investigaciones de la jurista griega Catharine Titi, no hay ningún argumento jurídico que sostenga la postura de Londres como lo examina en el libro ‘The Parthenon Marbles and International Law (Springer, 2023) que se podría traducir como ‘Los Mármoles de Partenón y la ley internacional'. La mitad de lo que existe hoy en día del friso del Partenón se encuentra en Londres. Fue un Lord Elgin, embajador británico del Imperio Otomano, quien desde Constantinopla envió a sus hombres a Atenas a principios del siglo XIX. “Los mandó para que hicieran copias de las esculturas que se encontraban en la Acrópolis de Atenas para decorar su casa de Escocia”, explica Catharine Titi, profesora titular de investigación en el Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas en Francia.“Elgin consiguió una autorización del Sultán en la que decía que sus hombres podían tomar antigüedades que se encontraban en el suelo en la Acrópolis. Pero lo que pasó es que sus hombres sobornaron a las antigüedades locales otomanas para que hicieran la vista gorda y pudieran así retirar las antigüedades del mismo edificio del Partenón”, aclara la investigadora. En 1816 Elgin vendió su colección al gobierno británico y este confió su custodia al Museo Británico.Más allá de las razones éticas, Titi demuestra en el libro que Reino Unido tiene que devolver las esculturas por razones jurídicas. “En derecho internacional público la propiedad en partes de un edificio pertenece para siempre al edificio, al territorio soberano. Por otra parte, no hay ninguna transacción jurídica válida que transfiriera la propiedad de los mármoles de Atenas a Elgin”, precisa Titi.Grecia comenzó a pedir la restitución de las esculturas en 1936. En estos momentos el Gobierno griego está negociando con el Museo Británico. “Se habla de un intercambio cultural, un proyecto sobre el que tengo mis dudas. Para mí no es una devolución, sería un préstamo, pero no está muy claro en el sentido de que las negociaciones son secretas”, explica.En cualquier caso, durante la última visita del primer ministro griego, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, al Reino Unido a finales de 2023, su homólogo británico, Rishi Sunak, anuló la cita que tenían. Muy sintomático de la situación.#EscalaenParís también está en redes socialesUn programa coordinado por Paola Ariza y Florencia Valdés.Realización: Vanessa Loiseau y Souheil Khedir

The permanent home of the Parthenon Marbles, also known as the 'Elgin' Marbles, has been the subject of a heated, decades-long debate.

The long-running dispute between Greece and Britain over the Parthenon Marbles has seen a bitter escalation after British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak cancelled a meeting with his counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis. A series of 2,500-year-old friezes and statues housed in the British Museum were taken from Athens in the early 19th Century. Athens has long-demanded the sculptures' return - but to no avail.

An extraordinary row has broken out between the British and Greek governments over the future of the Parthenon Marbles. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was due to meet Rishi Sunak in London today, but No. 10 cancelled the meeting at the last minute over comments that Mitsotakis made on the Laura Kuenssberg show. Is this whole row all part of a high-culture war, to win back the Red Wall? Or has No.10 lost its marbles?  Natasha Feroze speaks to Katy Balls and James Heale.  Produced by Natasha Feroze and Oscar Edmondson. 

For almost 40 years, the Parthenon Marbles, or Elgin Marbles as they are also known, have been at the centre of the great restitution debate. Taken from Greece in contested circumstances by Lord Elgin in the 19th century, the marble sculptures that were part of the Parthenon and other structures on the Acropolis are housed in the British Museum. UK law prevents the museum from giving away objects in its collection, but the organisation's chair, former chancellor George Osborne, is said to be in talks to loan the statues to Greece long term in exchange for other ancient artworks. So should the marbles go back? Joining us to debate the issue are Ed Vaizey, former UK Government Culture and Digital Minister from 2010-16, who writes and broadcasts regularly on politics and culture, and Sir Noel Malcolm, Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College, Oxford. Chair for this debate is Manveen Rana, senior investigative journalist and host of The Times and Sunday Times' flagship podcast Stories of Our Times.

Turkey's President Erdogan has finally made it official, setting May 14 as the date for elections that many see as existential for Turkey's authoritarian leader. After twenty years of dominating Turkish politics, and given the stakes for Erdogan, there are questions as to how far he will be willing to go on May 14th to ensure the results are in his favor, and whether there will be a peaceful transition of power. Merve Tahiroglu, the Turkey Program director at the Project on Middle East Democracy, joins me to look at whether the upcoming elections in Turkey will be free and fair, look at what role the international community and civil society can play to ensure the integrity of the elections, and explore whether Erdogan will be willing to hand over power should he lose.Watch the FDD's panel discussion featuring Merve Tahiroglu where these issues were explored: Turkey After ErdoganYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Erdogan calls Turkish elections for May 14, three months after quake disasterCypriot president pledges 2% of GDP on defense spendingBritish Museum chair: Worth trying to find solution for Parthenon SculpturesBoris Johnson and the Parthenon Marbles

After decades of making little progress in securing the return of the Parthenon Marbles from the British Museum, Greece appears to be edging closer to a possible deal for the repatriation of the ancient sculptures.Last December, Greek daily newspaper Ta Nea reported that Greek government officials, including Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, had held talks with the British Museum's chair, George Osborne, about coming to an arrangement for the Marbles to be sent back.Further details of what this agreement might look like were reported by the Financial Times recently.The Agora caught up with Ta Nea's London correspondent, Yiannis Andritsopoulos, to find out more about these talks, whether a deal really is in the offing and what any agreement would likely entail.Before that, though, hosts Phoebe Fronista and Nick Malkoutzis look back at the longstanding Greek request for the return of these priceless cultural artifacts, how that campaign has evolved over many years and how it has taken on a political hue at times.

The Financial Times recently published a report documenting the secret meetings between Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and British Museum chair George Osborne, as they explore ways to end the long-standing dispute over the Parthenon Marbles. While observers note that the climate is better than it has been for 200 years to resolve this issue, key challenges remain. Eleni Varvitsioti, the Financial Times correspondent for Greece and Cyprus based in Athens, joins Thanos Davelis to look into these secret talks, break down what we know so far about a potential plan, and look at what lies ahead in the fight to bring the Parthenon Marbles home. Read Eleni Varvitsioti's latest in the Financial Times: Inside the secret meetings that could seal the fate of the Parthenon MarblesYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Major renovation planned for Athens' archaeological museumGreek inflation eases to lowest level since Feb 2022Food prices soar despite inflation easing

They asked for permission. Permission was denied... but they did it anyway. That's the predicament that Founder and Executive Director of the Institute for Digital Archaeology, Roger Michel, and Director of Technology, Alexy Karenowska found themselves in during 2022. Believing strongly that the British Museum didn't have the right to deny their request to scan the Parthenon Marbles, both Roger and Alexy hatched a plan to scan the Marbles anyway, using only smartphones and iPads, and in full view of Museum staff. Not only did they manage to do it, the resulting copy of the Selene Horse in Pentelic Marble is an incredible example of what can be done by digital archaeologists, and the challenges it poses to traditional museums, committed to maintaining their collections. Roger and Alexy join Tom and Nick to re-tell the story, and discuss the 200+ year dispute between the UK and Greece, including the loud calls for the restitution of the Marbles to Athens.Support the showEmail us at ouzotalk@outlook.comSubscribe to our Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3n85GSdk5Q&t=6sFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/OuzoTalkFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ouzo_talk/

This week: the Parthenon Marbles; it has emerged that George Osborne, the former UK chancellor and now chair of the trustees of the British Museum, has been holding talks with the Greek government about the ancient sculptures. So might this lead to a breakthrough in the long-running dispute over their ownership? Ben Luke speaks to Yannis Andritsopoulos, the reporter for the Greek newspaper Ta Nea who broke the story. In Afghanistan, it is more than a year since the Taliban reclaimed power—so what has become of the heritage projects and art community in the country, which is consumed by a devastating humanitarian crisis? We hear from Sarvy Geranpayeh, who has regularly reported from Afghanistan for The Art Newspaper, about art and archeology under the Taliban. And this episode's Work of the Week is a group of five murals by the German-born US artist Kiki Smith. The works are about to be unveiled at Grand Central Madison, the new Long Island Rail Road terminal below Grand Central on Madison Avenue, Manhattan. Smith tells us about the origin and development of her series of vast mosaics. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Prime Minister Mitsotakis has said that he believes Britain is edging closer to returning the Parthenon Marbles, and will raise the subject with the UK's new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, on an upcoming visit to London this year. Mitsotakis said he believes the “mood is changing in the UK,” a reference to reports that, after decades of defensiveness, the British Museum may be ready to do a deal. When asked about the Parthenon Marbles earlier this month, however, Prime Minister Truss ruled out their return to Athens. Janet Suzman, the chair of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles, joins Thanos Davelis to discuss whether now is the right time for Mitsotakis to press for a deal on the Parthenon Marbles, and to look at how attitudes in Britain are shifting on this issue in favor of their return to Greece.You can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:Greek PM will tell Liz Truss now's the moment to return Elgin MarblesUK Prime Minister Liz Truss rules out deal with Greece over Parthenon MarblesElgin Marbles: New body aims to return sculptures to GreeceEU blasts Turkey over Greek airspace violations, threats in enlargement report Cyprus may consider transferring weapons to Ukraine, government saysThe Hunt to Arm Ukraine Leads to Difficult Choices

It's not news that museums all around the world contain works of art that have been looted or forcefully taken during colonial rule but is it time they gave them back?  It seems pretty straightforward for an increasing number of people that it is the moral thing to do and that art and artifacts belong in their country of origin. Museums often counteract this by saying, amongst other things, that if they returned these objects they would be left nearly empty, or that these countries or territories no longer exist so where would they go back to, or even that they were legally acquired in the first place. But recently a number of prestigious museums around the world seemed to have had a change of heart and are indeed repatriating works. What are the Parthenon Marbles and where are they from, and why are they in the UK? Will Britain give them back?  In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !

A climate of mistrust toward Turkey, which has been prominent in the halls of Congress, has now spread and taken hold across Washington, DC. This is particularly notable following Ankara's veto over Sweden and Finland's NATO membership bid, its decision to launch a new incursion into Syria, its relations with Russia, and its dangerous escalation of tensions with Greece. Lena Argiri, the DC Correspondent for ERT - the Greek Public Broadcasting Company, joins Thanos Davelis from Washington, DC to break down this climate of mistrust, and look at where Turkey's aggressive and escalating rhetoric against Greece fits in the broader picture.Read Lena Argiri's latest analysis in Kathimerini (in Greek): Η Τουρκία δοκιμάζει τις αντοχές των ΗΠΑYou can read the articles we discuss on our podcast here:PM: Greeks are absolutely safeBritish Museum suggests a ‘sharing arrangement' of Parthenon sculpturesThere is a ‘deal to be done' with Greece over Parthenon Marbles, says British Museum chairman George Osborne
