Talebian made the remarks in a meeting with the Ambassador of Greece to the Islamic Republic of Iran Dimitri Alexandrakis, adding that Iran could be regarded as one of the most successful countries in restoring artifacts.
Iran's measures have caused the international market to be unsafe for smuggling and selling historical cultural property, he underlined.
Since Iran, like Greece, has encountered looting, theft, and smuggling of historical property over the past two centuries, "we hope to be able to provide the grounds for the return of looted treasures by the joint actions", he underscored.
During the meeting, both sides called for the necessity of mutual cooperation and exchange of experiences in the field of cultural property reinstatement.
