"The fact that even an internationally renowned artist such as Beyonce chose to be framed by world-class monuments strengthens their timeless value. Moreover, when Venus, in addition to a monument of the Greek cultural heritage, is also the symbol of Milos. A symbol, which remains in a state of hostage, deprived of its right of repatriation, where it belongs," read a press statement issued by the island's municipal authority on Friday.

With the motto "Take Aphrodite back home" the inhabitants of Milos have long raised their voice and together with thousands of friends and supporters of the island, have called on the global community to sensitize and frame their campaign for the repatriation of the statue.

A campaign to collect signatures is already in progress since 2017, while Milos' mayor Gerasimos Damoulakis has highlighted the issue in all the international forums in which the municipality has participated in recent years.
