"Greek artifacts’ return from UK sought" Associated Press October 15, 2014
ATHENS — A team of London lawyers met with the Greek government Tuesday to discuss potential legal action to boost Greece’s long but so far futile campaign to reclaim the fifth-century BC Parthenon Sculptures from Britain.
Culture minister Costas Tassoulas said he had long discussions with the lawyers — including Amal Clooney, who recently married actor George Clooney — on how to overcome British opposition in what is the most famous cultural heritage dispute in the world.
‘‘The issue of returning and reuniting the Parthenon Marbles is one of top importance, which Greece has steadily and for a long time demanded,’’ Tassoulas said. ‘‘It is our duty . . . to do everything we can to ensure the success of that demand, which is made not only in the name of Greece but also in the name of global cultural heritage.’’
The marble sculptures decorated the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis for more than 2,000 years. They were removed at the beginning of the 19th century by Scottish nobleman Thomas Bruce, the seventh earl of Elgin, at a time when it was considered fashionable for major European powers to gather and display ancient art from other cultures with scant regard for legal niceties. They have been displayed in London’s British Museum since 1816.
Athens maintains they were illegally removed while Greece was still under Turkish occupation and should be returned.

"Greek prosecutor calls party a crime ring" AP October 17, 2014
ATHENS — A prosecutor handling the criminal inquiry of Greece’s Nazi-inspired, far-right Golden Dawn party sought to have 70 party members, including the jailed party leader and 17 other lawmakers, stand trial on charges ranging from running a criminal group to murder and arms offenses.
In a 700-page report, prosecutor Isidoros Doyiakos described Golden Dawn as a hierarchical criminal organization that aimed ‘‘to propagate and impose its political beliefs and theories through violence.’’
Sounds like the EUSraeli empire upon which the sun is setting.
He added that the party sought to ‘‘violently confront foreigners, dissidents, and anybody else it considered as a serious ideological opponent.’’
The nationalistic, xenophobic, and anti-Semitic Golden Dawn erupted onto Greece’s political scene by targeting disaffected voters amid the country’s acute financial crisis.
Seeing such words in my Zionist-controlled pre$$ means they are a threat to the Jew World Order.
It won 18 of Parliament’s 300 seats in 2012.
A three-member panel of judges is expected to issue final indictments within weeks. If it upholds Doyiakos’s proposal, Golden Dawn chief Nikolaos Michaloliakos faces a 20-year jail term if convicted.
He will then be what is known as a POLITICAL PRISONER in the "free West."
