A total of 69 Cypriot artefacts which were in the possession of a private citizen in Austria are to be returned to Cyprus, it was announced on Saturday.
The artefacts were handed over to Cyprus’ Deputy Culture Minister Vasiliki Kassianidou in a formal ceremony at the country’s embassy in Vienna. The private citizen, who remains unnamed, had inherited the artefacts, and then “immediately contacted the Cypriot authorities in Austria”.
