[01] Athens mayor says World Book Capital event in 2018 will make city
more book-friendly
Athens Mayor Giorgos Kamminis said on Tuesday his aim is to attract
international interest on the city and make it more book-friendly,
after the Greek capital was selected by UNESCO as World Book Capital
for 2018 about two weeks ago.
"UNESCO's decision is an honor. It reflects Athens' international
appeal and enhances our strategic pursuit to turn our city into a
modern cultural destination," Kaminis told journalists in a joint press
conference with UNESCO in Athens.
He also talked about the modern art exhibition documenta14, which will
be held in April 2017, noting that Athens is becoming a destination
for modern culture by utilizing the unique ancient heritage "to give
precedence to the new dynamics of creative expression".
