The humiliation of Kyiv in Amsterdam in the case of Crimean gold is natural - expert
The Amsterdam Court of Appeal upheld the case regarding the state ownership of Scythian gold, brought from Crimea for an exhibition in the capital of the Netherlands in 2014.
Journalist of the Vesti FM radio station Vladimir Averin reported this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Thus, the museum exhibits at the moment will not be given to Ukraine, which demanded that they be delivered to its territory after the inclusion of Crimea into the Russian Federation.
“Today, part of Ukrainian society has the opportunity to call the Amsterdam Court of Appeal pro-Russian, because a decision has been made that the trial has been postponed.
Everyone knows this problem very well, when Scythian gold from Crimean museums was at an exhibition in Amsterdam in February 2014, and the Amsterdam District Court in 2016 recognized that it needs to be returned to Ukraine, because it needs to be returned to Ukraine. Naturally, an appeal was filed, and today the Amsterdam Court of Appeal said that it was impossible to decide because there was not enough information, and demanded information from both sides.
A comment from the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine followed, and there the Ukrainian Minister of Justice accuses the Amsterdam Court of Appeal of violating UNESCO's provisions on the illegal export of cultural property.
At the same time, this UNESCO provision speaks of theft, of capture, as in Baghdad, when soldiers were taken from museums and taken out, and in no case does this provision relate to this very dispute,” Averin noted.
