During the visit, Dr. Hasan Fartousi, Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO, met with Hojjat al-Islam Abdolreza Pourzahabi, Representative of the Supreme Leader in Kurdistan Province, in the presence of the Mayor of Sanandaj, and emphasized the province\u2019s prominent cultural standing and its unique role in strengthening the culture of peace and coexistence.<\/p>\n

Describing Kurdistan as a cradle of the culture of peace and tolerance, Fartousi stated: \u201cThis province has always been a symbol of peaceful coexistence, and the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO has a special focus on it.\u201d He described UNESCO\u2019s mission as building lasting peace through education, science, culture and communication, emphasizing that countries with rich civilizations, such as Iran, have played a pioneering role in laying the foundations of this global movement.<\/p>\n

The Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO also referred to Sanandaj\u2019s membership in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network in the field of music and stated: \u201cMusic in Kurdistan emerges from the heart of nature, the people\u2019s hard work and their daily lives, and this cultural characteristic has given Sanandaj a unique position in this global network.\u201d<\/p>\n

During a meeting between the Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO and Dr. Adel Si-o-Se Marde, President of the University of Kurdistan, in the presence of the Mayor and Chair of the Sanandaj City Council, the need to expand UNESCO Chairs beyond Tehran and decentralize the country\u2019s scientific opportunities was emphasized.

Throughout history, the people of this land have lived through art, ethics, spirituality and culture, and today they are deserving of this international standing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the need to harness international capacities for the cultural development of the region, he added: \u201cThe Creative City of Music designation should not only contribute to strengthening artistic infrastructure, but should also become a platform for introducing the spiritual and cultural way of life of the people of Kurdistan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Emphasizing the importance of preserving and transmitting Kurdistan\u2019s cultural, historical and spiritual heritage, Fartousi stated: \u201cIt is everyone\u2019s responsibility to preserve and responsibly transmit this heritage to future generations. Throughout history, human, Islamic and Iranian civilization has benefited from the efforts of dedicated individuals who have consistently emphasized this responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

The West Is Indebted to the Cultural Heritage of the East<\/strong><\/p>\n

Referring to the removal of many historical artefacts from the East, including Kurdistan, to Western countries in the past, he stated: \u201cWestern museums owe their flourishing to heritage from the East, for which we were not always good custodians in the past.\u201d He added: \u201cThe Secretariat of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO will diligently and rigorously carry out its oversight responsibilities, and we will make every effort within our capacity in this regard.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fartousi described Kurdistan\u2019s historical role as extending beyond the borders of the province and emphasized: \u201cKurdistan has a significant and influential national role in the cultural and historical spheres, as well as in its natural features and spiritual heritage. Many of the spiritual paths of mystical practice found around the world have their roots in this cultural region.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Need to Promote a Culture of Peace and Coexistence through Cultural Heritage<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Secretary-General of the Iranian National Commission for UNESCO concluded by emphasizing: \u201cGreater attention must be paid to Kurdistan\u2019s historical role, and a culture of peace, coexistence and understanding of cultural diversity must be firmly embedded in society.
