Crimean Deputy PM Slams Amsterdam Court Decision to Give Scythian Gold to Kiev
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Earlier, a decision to file appeal against the court decision was announced by Anastaia Savitskaya who represents Crimean museums in this process.

"Undoubtedly we will file an appeal against this decision", Malgin stated.

In early 2014, four Crimean and one Kiev museums provided the collection of the Scythian gold to Amsterdam for an exhibition called "Crimea. Gold and Secrets of the Black Sea" in the Allard Pierson Museum. The dispute about the exhibition arose after Crimea reunified with Russia following a 2014 referendum. Earlier on Wednesday, the District Court of Amsterdam ruled that the Scythian gold artifacts should return to Kiev.
