Constantine Tasoulas has, for the first time, directly linked the return of the Parthenon Sculptures to the relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union. He suggests that the return of the sculptures is also owed to Europe as a whole. Tasoulas further urged Türkiye to engage with historical context, suggesting they “read more history.” He also appealed to Greek political parties to move beyond polarization and seek “bold and substantial” consensus. Tasoulas’ statement introduces a new dimension to the long-standing debate surrounding the repatriation of the Parthenon Sculptures, currently held in the British Museum in London. His comments emphasize the broader geopolitical implications tied to the issue, linking it to the UK's positioning within Europe.
