Tajikistan demands British Museum return ancient treasure

...e priceless Persian artefacts from the 5^th to 4^th century BC were found. A museum spokesman said that trustees had received no formal request from the Tajik government to return the 170-odd artefacts -- including model chariots, armlets and a scabbard -- that make up the treasure. Mr Rakhmonov’s quest seems unlikely to succeed, not least because his case is generally regarded as flimsy. As the treasure is Persian, the Iranian government would have a stronger claim.
