Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Ali Jannati released a message Tuesday to mark the glorious victory [36 years ago] of the Islamic Revolution.
In the message, the Iranian culture chief said, “February is a reminder of Iranian resolve to usher in a sea change and rewrite their destiny.

The message further said, “Today once again we recommit ourselves to tapping into our capacity on artistic and cultural fronts and relying on honesty and integrity, morality and ethical excellence to safeguard our national independence, and protect the legitimate freedoms of everyone without any discrimination, and in line with the principles of the Islamic Republic; we also vow to try to promote culture and human value and respect individual and collective rights to replace preferential treatment with unbiased relations and promote interaction and synergistic dialogue as a major strategy to secure social understanding.
“We are certain we will walk down that path with our heads held up high. Despite plots by overt and covert enemies, great, lasting victories lie ahead for the Iranian nation.”
