Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis on Monday inaugurated the renewed exhibition of the Filio Haidemenou Museum of Asia Minor Hellenism, which is contained within the Andreas G. Papandreou World Cultural Foundation of Diaspora Hellenism in the historic Nea Philadelphia district of west Athens.

 

Exhibited in the museum are 500 of the 1,500 objects and photographs belonging to a fraction of the millions of ethnic Greeks expelled from Asia Minor after 1922, collected by 108-year-old Filio Haidemenou, who was unable to attend Monday's ceremony due to ill health.

 

DF: Exhibitions like this should not only open in Greece but all over the world, so that the millenia of history that the Greeks had in Asia Minor is never forgotten.
