Turkey Recovers 100 Items

Turkey has recovered 100 cultural artifacts from the United States and officially put them on display at the Istanbul Archaeology Museums, in the presence of Culture and Tourism Minister Mehmet Nuri Ersoy and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Matthew Bogdanos. The collection includes 40 artifacts from Horoztepe dating to 2300–2000 BC, 44 architectural terracotta panels from Dover dating to 700–480 BC, a bust from Aphrodisias, and other pieces. Ersoy said the recovery of the heritage relied on research, documentation, and international cooperation. The display coincided with the opening of the exhibition “No Escape: Boubon,” about combating the illicit trafficking of antiquities.
