1: The Turkish authorities then turned their attention to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 2: In September 2011 a delegation led by Murat Suslu, the director-general for cultural heritage and museums, flew to New York to discuss loans for a 2014 exhibition. 3: Mr Suslu, who has a reputation as a table-thumper, opened the meeting with a declaration of intent. 4: Before any further loans could be discussed, he wanted information about 18 works in the Met’s collection. 5: “It certainly came as a surprise to us,” says the Met’s director, Thomas Campbell, “especially in light of the collaborative spirit we have always enjoyed with our peer institutions in Turkey.”

1:The result is an impasse.2:Foreign museum directors wish to keep ties with Turkish museums, but if all objects from antiquity were to be repatriated to their land of origin, as Mr Gunay suggests, what justification is there for institutions such as the Met, the Louvre and the BM· Why, for example, should the BM retain the Parthenon marbles in London? The carvings were acquired by Lord Elgin when Greece was part of the Ottoman empire.3:Lord Elgin had obtained a firman, or Ottoman permission from the local authorities, but only after the payment of significant bribes.4:Does that make acquisitions illegal.

1:结论陷入了僵局。2:外国博物馆馆长期望和土耳其博物馆保持联系，但是如果将所有文物按照居纳伊的建议归还到原产地，大都会艺术博物馆、卢浮宫和大英博物馆能给出什么理由呢？比如伦敦的大英博物馆能保留帕台农神庙的大理石雕像吗？这是额尔金勋爵从希腊搞到的，那时候希腊还属于奥斯曼帝国。3:额尔金勋爵通过当地政府巨额贿赂弄到了敕令（奥斯曼帝国的许可）。4:这会使获取的文物非法吗。
