Britain and Greece are caught in a fresh diplomatic row over the Parthenon Sculptures, popularly known as the Elgin Marbles. On Tuesday, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis alleged that British Minister Rishi Sunak cancelled a state meeting last minute over the Elgin Marbles issue.
The famous Elgin Marbles are ancient Greek sculptures taken from the Parthenon temple by Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin. The marbles now in the British Museum have been a long-standing issue between the UK and Greece.
