Antony Gormley is the new kid on the block in ancient Greece

The British sculptor has, controversially, been commissioned to create works for the island of Delos, a sacred classical site In all seasons the elements rage on Delos. In winter, salt winds pound its granite rocks; in summer the sun beats so heavily that the tiny outcrop, treeless and bare, almost vanishes in a haze of heat. But it was here, on the ancient Greek world’s most sacred isle, that Apollo, the god of light and his twin sister Artemis, the moon goddess, were born. And it was here in the heart of the Aegean that, in the 9th century BC, one of the greatest sanctuaries emerged. Today, the remains of temples, altars, sculptures and votive offerings, the markers of the myths and rituals played out on Delos, stand alongside the magnificent ruins of a later period when the Cycladic island became a commercial centre, teeming with merchants and slaves.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs announcement on Turkey's decision to carry out illegal drilling in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Republic of Cyprus

We condemn Turkey’s decision to carry out illegal drilling in the Exclusive Economic Zone of the Republic of Cyprus. We call on Turkey to immediately cease its illegal activities, to respect the inalienable rights of the sovereign Republic of Cyprus exercised in the interests of all Cypriot people, to desist from further actions that undermine stability in the region, and the re-opening of talks for a just and viable solution to the Cyprus problem. We welcome the Republic of Cyprus’s calm and composed stance, which reaffirms its role as a pillar of stability and a reliable partner in the Eastern Mediterranean. Greece recalls the content of the Conclusions of the March 2018 meeting of the European Council and the subsequent relevant positions of the EU, and remains in constant communication and coordination with the Republic of Cyprus, as well as its EU partners and allies with regard to the next appropriate actions.

Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs S. Anagnostopoulou participates in a meeting of the European Affairs Ministers of EU Member States (Paris, 3 May 2019)

The Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sia Anagnostopoulou, participated in the meeting of the European Affairs Ministers of EU Member States, held in Paris, on the creation of a European mechanism for the protection of the cultural monuments of Europe. During her intervention, the Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs proposed, among other things, “the creation of an observatory of endangered cultural heritage monuments” which, in fact, Greece is willing to host. She also presented a proposal for the creation of a funding mechanism for all European monuments, depending on their protection needs. This mechanism can be funded from the revenue of the monuments themselves (tickets, programme sales, audiovisual tours, etc.), following the example of the Greek Fund of Archaeological Proceeds. A percentage of profits can be used for the creation of a pool which, in turn, will fund the cataloguing, preservation, protection and restoration of monuments in the event of emergencies. This percentage would be fiscally neutral for the national budgets of all EU Member States. Additionally, the Alternate Minister of Foreign Affairs proposed the creation of a European post-secondary vocational training diploma in a city with a wealth of emblematic cultural heritage monuments in need of preservation and restoration, as well as the promotion of educational programmes for the exchange of students between European schools of specialised technical studies.
