Greece, Cyprus donate funds for ancient Greek culture in Bulgaria
06/01/2004 20:08:36
SOFIA (ANA/B. Borisov) - Greece and Cyprus donated 20,000 euros and 6,000 dollars respectively for archaeological projects in Bulgaria, that are related to the ancient Greek and Byzantine antiquities in the country.
According to Bulgarian National History Museum director Bozidar Dimitrov, Greece donated the money for excavations in the necropolis of the ancient Greek city of Apollonia of Pontos, near the modern city of Sozopolis.
The ancient city, which was founded in the 6th century B.C., but was abandoned in the 1st century B.C., was one of the most important trade and culture centers of its day in the region.
The Cypriot donation was provided for restoration work done in the ''St. John'' Byzantine monastery also near Sozopolis.
Both donations are part of a project to maintain and promote ancient Greek cultural heritage in Europe, Dimitrov said, adding ''we are grateful for the donations, despite the fact that we are sad that our own state is not taking care of our heritage in Europe, in a similar fashion.''
