This whole thing with the relics of Tsar Samuel sounds like it's stirring up old rivalries between Athens, the Phanar, and Skopje again. The Parthenon sculptures mention feels like a weird detour thrown in to make it more political. Anybody know if the Church in Greece has made an official statement on where the relics should actually go?
