Cultural heritage is the identity of the country and you are our great asset
“Cultural heritage is the identity of the country and you, the elders and professors, are our great asset,” said Seyyed Ezatullah Zarghami, thanking the professors and veterans of cultural heritage, at the symposium.
“What is important and should be taken into account is that our cultural heritage is being destroyed,” said the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts. In the last three months, when I held various meetings and went to different places during this time, I saw that no one cares about cultural heritage. “When I went to Semnan, I saw that the 2,000-year-old artifacts had been abandoned and had become a gathering place for addicts.”
He continued: “During my visit to Pamanar neighborhood of Tehran, I saw that many historical monuments of this neighborhood have been abandoned. We must resolve these issues; “That is why we have allocated that budget and we will follow up on this issue.”
Engineer Zarghami said: “During my trip to Zanjan province, I kissed the repairing hand of Gonbad Soltanieh; I was asked why did you do this? I said that he has spent 50 years of his life repairing the verses and narration of this dome and has sacrificed. “It’s a blessing and I’m proud.”
The Minister of Heritage, Culture, Tourism and Handicrafts said: “To solve the budget problem of the ministry, we have started a plan to use all the capacities of the private sector and government agencies. “God willing, we will solve the problems with the help of all the professors and veterans of cultural heritage.”
“We have many monuments in all parts of the country, but we do not have the strength to protect them,” he added. I announced that in cyberspace, everyone who informs us about the destruction of a work is an honorary soldier of cultural heritage. We consider all those who write in cyberspace in this field as our own forces. Because with this information, they prevent the destruction of the works. “A festival should be held in the future and their services should be appreciated.”
“At this meeting, I saw that you, your professors and veterans, are committed to cultural heritage and its protection,” said the Minister of Heritage, Culture, Tourism and Handicrafts. As you mentioned, in addition to preserving the material heritage, we must also preserve the spiritual and intangible heritage and interpret it correctly. “Our spiritual heritage and cultural heritage collection goes back to our beliefs, roots, and religion, so we should not polarize these two issues.”
In the end, Mr. Zarghami said: “Mr. Darabi is supposed to form various committees in the field of cultural heritage and the professors will ask their questions in this section in detail so that they can be examined in the next meetings with the presence of professors and veterans. “Strategies to move cultural heritage forward.”
