Maher Sharifzadeh, representative of Azerbaijan at the Noor Cultural Foundation stand, in the second year of Azerbaijan's presence at the Tehran Book Fair presented books on Islamic psychology, The Autobiography of martyrs and Sociology, the majority of which have been translated from Persian and the rest are published by the same institute.

 

He expressed the interest of the Azerbaijani people in Iranian dignitaries, including Shahid Motahari, who is known as a teacher and researcher in Azerbaijan, and continued that Iranian and Azerbaijan have a lot in common in religion, Beliefs, literature, culture, and customs since have lived in the same area for many years, which has caused dependence among people. For example, Nezami Ganjvi and Shahriar are originally Turkish but have lived in Iran and are practically related to both nations. Even in today's Azerbaijani poetry, Persian words are sometimes used, and this is because justice is only done by using these words and these words strengthen Azerbaijani literature.

 

Maher Sharifzadeh added that not only Azerbaijan, but also other countries cover their cultural and literary gaps with the rich Iranian literature and culture because Iran is the home of dignitaries like Saadi, Hafez, and Ferdowsi that exist in no other country, and for this reason, they cannot cultivate their present societies with such rich culture, so we are proud to have the Iranian works and raising the children with Iranian culture.

 

In his view, the book is the best way to convey culture and ideas in the minds of the audience and deliver it to other nations through these audiences. An example of this delivery can be the defense of American students from Palestine. He added that the main activities and goals of Noor Cultural Institute are to keep alive and transfer the Islamic culture and Shia culture of Azerbaijan.

 

He added that the institute promotes the culture of book reading at Kitaboxu.com, and in this regard has put 700 digital books, free of charge, for people from all over the world so that audiences from all over the world can access them.

 

In the end, he stated that the greatest surprise of this exhibition is the mass of welcoming people and the continuity of the implementation of this program in the successive years, which shows the interest of the Iranian leaders, which delighted us.
