[01] President Clerides - US - Metropolitan Museum
Nicosia, Apr 2 (CNA) - President Glafcos Clerides departs this afternoon
for New York, where on April 4 he will inaugurate the Cypriot Galleries in
four halls of the Metropolitan Museum.
The 600 Cypriot exhibits, stored in the vaults of the Museum, were
illegally exported from Cyprus by the then US Consul Luigi Palma de Cesnola,
between 1865 and 1876, when Cyprus was under Ottoman occupation.
