ATHENS, Dec 5 (Reuters) - The Greek government on Monday quashed local media reports that a deal with Britain over the repatriation of the Parthenon Sculptures to Athens was imminent but said the two sides were in talks on the long-running dispute. The museum, custodian of the sculptures known in Britain as the Elgin Marbles, also reiterated it would not dismantle its collection. Last week, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said that there was "progress" and a sense of "momentum" in talks with Britain to reunite the sculptures in Greece. Citing a British official, Greece's ANT1 TV said on Sunday that the only way to return the sculptures to Greece without violating British law was "if the British Museum opened a kind of annex in Greece". In March, the United Nations' cultural agency UNESCO urged Greece and Britain to reach a settlement on the issue.

LONDON, Nov 28 (Reuters) - Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Monday there was "progress" and a sense of "momentum" in talks with Britain to reunite the Parthenon Sculptures in Greece. "We have seen progress," Mitsotakis said during an event at the London School of Economics, saying that while discussions remained private, the reunification of the sculptures could be a "win-win solution". The British Museum bought the marbles in 1816 and British officials say they had been acquired legally by Elgin, a claim Greece denies. "I do sense the momentum (to reunite the sculptures)," Mitsotakis added. Reporting by Marc Jones; editing by Rodrigo CamposOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

Prinţul consort Philip, Duce de Edinburgh, soţul Reginei Elisabeta a Marii Britanii a murit la vârsta de 99 de ani, informează Casa regală a Marii Britanii. Atunci când prinţul Philip avea vârsta de 18 ani, unchiul lui, regele Greciei, a fost obligat să abdice, iar tatăl lui a fost expulzat din ţară, după Războiul greco-turc. Alături de părinţii şi cele patru surori ale lui, Philip a fugit din Grecia la bordul unui vas al armatei britanice. În 2011, pentru a sărbători momentul în care soţul ei a împlinit vârsta de 90 de ani, regina Elisabeta a II-a a acordat titlul de Lord Mare Amiral al Marinei Regale. De atunci, el a continuat totuşi să o însoţească pe regina Elisabeta a II-a la aumite evenimente oficiale.

La scurt timp de la descoperire, celebra piatră a fost trimisă în Anglia pentru a fi descifrată de egiptologi și a rămas la British Museum din Londra încă din 1802. Comoara lui Priam, TurciaUn tezaur de aur, cupru, scuturi, arme și alte artefacte a fost descoperit în anii 1870 de către arheologul german Heinrich Schliemann. Cunoscută și sub numele de aurul troian, comoara a fost dată între 2600 și 2450 î.Hr. și a fost găsită în locul în care se credea că ar fi existat vechea Troia, în prezent nord-vestul Turciei. La fel ca multe artefacte, a fost trimisă ilegal în străinătate pentru a fi expusă în muzeele europene.
