<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 7322200, member: 110350&quot;]The most recent reports I&#039;ve been able to find relating to the new MOU with Turkey, signed in the last days of the previous administration, are these two from early last month. They&#039;re certainly not promising, although apparently they&#039;re not intended to apply retroactively. Which is some comfort.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://culturalpropertynews.org/turkish-mou-last-minute-state-department-deal-sparks-outrage/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://culturalpropertynews.org/turkish-mou-last-minute-state-department-deal-sparks-outrage/" rel="nofollow">https://culturalpropertynews.org/turkish-mou-last-minute-state-department-deal-sparks-outrage/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/accord-between-us-and-turkey-to-counter-illicit-trade-in-artefacts-divides-historians-and-preservationists" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/accord-between-us-and-turkey-to-counter-illicit-trade-in-artefacts-divides-historians-and-preservationists" rel="nofollow">https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/accord-between-us-and-turkey-to-counter-illicit-trade-in-artefacts-divides-historians-and-preservationists</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, I know that the five-year extension of the MOU with Italy was signed in October, but I&#039;ve seen nothing since then regarding whether the types of coins restricted have, as was proposed, been extended to all&nbsp; Roman Republican and Roman Imperial coins (regardless of whether they were found in Italy) -- as opposed to the previous MOU, which covered only Roman Republican coins from before 211 BC.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
