“Crimean museums provided additional evidence of Crimean artifacts belonging to the Scythian gold collection belonging to the court of Amsterdam, which they asked us for,” Malgina quotes TASS.
In mid-July, a court in Amsterdam postponed the decision on Scythian gold from the museums of Crimea for six to nine months.
In Crimea, they expressed their willingness to provide information confirming the right to possess the collection.
In March, the head of the republic, Sergei Aksyonov, in an interview with the Izvestia newspaper emphasized that, from a legal point of view, the collection should be returned to Crimea in accordance with the agreements concluded by Crimean museums with the Dutch museum of Allard Pearson.
A collection of Scythian gold was exported from Crimea to an exhibition at the Allard Pearson Museum in Amsterdam in 2014. After the Crimea became part of Russia, both the peninsula museums and Ukraine claimed their rights to gold.
