"The objective is their definitive return," government spokesman Yiannis Oikonomou told a news briefing. The deal, effectively a loan agreement, could see the 2,500-year-old antiquities returned "sooner rather than later," the Telegraph newspaper reported.It would likely involve some objects being sent by London on a long-term loan basis with Athens reciprocating with some ancient Greek treasures.
"We have come a long way. We have made steps and efforts continue. The negotiations are not easy," Oikonomou said.
