Culture Minister Constantinos Tasoulas on Thursday stressed the need to promote the Greek culture so that the country wins again the place it deserves, referring to Amphipolis' excavations.

"In response to these developments and the great interest expressed in Greece and abroad for this unique monument, it is worth considering again the issue of highlighting our culture, the pride that our culture offers us, the issue of protecting our culture along with its development, so that Greece can regain the place it deserves," Tasoulas said on Thursday speaking at Mega TV.

Tasoulas confirmed that parts of the wings of the Sphinxes were found adding that the excavation works continue and may take two weeks or more before drawing definite conclusions saying that "in archaeology, facts count and not speculations."
