The advisor and translator of Afghanistan's Ministry of Information and culture pointed out to Iran's capacity for publishing his country's books and said: "Other regional Persian language countries should reduce their sensitiveness and promote and develop Persian."

IBNA: On the sidelines of holding the first Iran-Afghanistan written heritage, Ali Alami Kermani said: "The conference can have an effective and great role in the civilization filed of Pamir and expanding Persian language and literature."

Talking about his countries crises and their cooperation with Iran to publish books he said: "When we look back to 130 years ago we learn that Iran and Afghanistan had many common heritages. Nowadays, in the political filed what we recognize as Iran and Afghanistan, which were once a unique civilization, have many distinguished figures who they are proud of. Figures as those who the culture Minister recalled even Ferdowsi could be assessed in the field.

Alami Kermani underlined: "Ferdowsi, Rumi and etc belong to both the nations so as the Culture minister, Seyyed Mohammad Husseini said, political geographies were created by colonialism countries including England and Soviet Union.

Talking about Iran's capacities for publishing books he said: "Naturally Iran has a great stance. Only considering its "Type spaces" as a basic we learn that books which are published in Pakistan or Indian subcontinent differ a lot with books which are released in Iran. Iran has done a lot of work on ancient Persian language, but our Tajik and Afghan colleagues were not so successful."

He explained: "They didn’t have the opportunity moreover Afghanistan and Pakistan had many more challenges. Nowadays in Afghanistan if we talk about Pamir or Persian, the Pashto civilians will become very sensitive. Unfortunately all this is happening because we don’t ponder about our past."

He went on to say that according to linguistics Pashto is a Persian subcategory and we can't say which language is complete; Pashto, Persian, English or Arabic? Muslims honor Arabic and for linguists Black English which is spoken in Latin America or White English which is spoken in Washington is the same. If such sensitivities are reduced many works could be done."

Finally he said: "Challenges which dominate Tajikistan and Pakistan ban the development of Persian."

The first conference of Iran-Afghanistan written heritage conference was held Saturday July 3, at the Majlis Library.
