The J. Paul Getty Trust agreed on Monday to return two antiquities that Greek authorities say were taken illegally from their country.
Greek Culture Minister Giorgos Voulgarakis said Monday he was "extremely satisfied" with the decision and voiced optimism that similar moves would follow from the Getty and other international museums.
"This is just the beginning," Voulgarakis said. "I believe that in the future we will have very good results concerning other antiquities whose return we are seeking."
