MODERATORS
I'm happy to hear England's argument is crumbling before their eyes. These statues belong in Greece.
Even if they had permission from the Ottomans - it's beyond meaningless.
It's like arguimg Britain had permission from France to take [random African artifact located im a French colony] and therefore any and all claims by the affected country are now void.
I doubt the Ottomans had permission to take them from the Romans
I wonder if there is a statue of limitations for situations like this...
