Default Online Petition To Protect An Ancient Athens' Archaeological Site

www.artemisagrotera.org/en/petition.asp

[From their website]
"www.artemisagrotera.org is a dynamic site of information,
communication, and active protest concerning the endangered
archeological site of the 5th B.C ionic temple of Artemis Agrotera on
Ardittou St, Mets in the centre of Athens, created by the Citizens of
Mets Initiative.
We are a diverse group of people concerned with cultural heritage and
the environment and who react to incidents of destruction that occur in
the area of Mets. The temple of Artemis is our most important issue
presently and we have decided to put it on the net because we believe
its scope extends beyond the boundaries of our neighborhood. The sacred
site is endangered by a lobby of speculative real estate developers and
perspective builders and a slackening in its protection by the state.
The purpose of this site is to inform all interested about the
historical significance of the temple and to engender support via a
petition. The signatures gathered will then be sent to the Greek
Parliament and to the European Parliament with the request that:
The sacred site of the temple of Artemis Agrotera be finally
expropriated, fully excavated, unified to the archeological sites
adjoining it and opened to the general public, and this after over a
century since it was first excavated in 1897 and over forty years since
it was protected and first declared for expropriation in 1964.
The website will be open to your support and suggestions for action".

The Citizens of Mets Initiative
