Supreme Leader's representative in the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs during this visit in an exclusive interview with Navideshahed said: “Fortunately Shahed Publication in the section of Research and Cultural Communication center is one of the most successful parts of the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs and the working subject of these respectful persons is promoting the culture of Sacrifice and Martyrdom; in fact it could be considered as the most sacred subjects and the most important duty for the Islamic System, but this responsibility has been given to the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs and Shahed Publication.”?
Hujjat al-Islam Rahimiyan at the continuation of his words said: “We believe that the application and deployment of the martyrdom culture is higher than the use of atomic weapons and all the military weapons and higher materialistic facilities, so promoting such a culture for sure has a great value as well.”?

He added: “Shahed Publication has been a healthy collection from the beginning and it has conducted many good activities as well; also during the recent years it has reached it climax by presence of some great characters such as Mr. Faghih and his colleagues. This publication has been improved both in quantity which has the highest number of the books related to the martyrs and culture of sacrifice and martyrdom and in terms of quality which is getting better day by day and it gets higher ranking gradually as well.”?

As a result we can expand this cultural issue for the Iranian nation and also all the Muslim nations of the world specially those countries that have Shiites all around the world.”?

So the authorities must be wise and aware of this issue and to act accurately.”?
