Archbishop Spyridon Appeals For Return Of Parthenon Marbles

Athens, February 12 (MPA)

Archbishop Spyridon of America, who is presently on a visit to Greece, has appealed for the return of the Parthenon Marbles to Athens.

"The legal heritage must be returned to the Parthenon," Mr. Spyridon said after a visit to the Acropolis yesterday, adding that the Greek community in the United States sees the Acropolis as "the symbol of all that is ours, an inalienable heritage and legacy for the future". A.F.
