Abdol Majid Farahani, the designer of the statue ‘Commander Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan’ that his design was appreciated during the first Special Prize of Martyr Janbozorgi in an interview with the Sacrifice and Martyrdom reporter of Fars News Agency stated: “After the studies that I had regarding the biography of Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan and talking with my friends, I decided to design the statue of this great myth in an epic condition which make the people remember him.”?

He continued: Since Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan launched many operations in Kurdistan and due to the mountainous areas of that place, the idea of designing Haj Ahmad near a rock was something fantastic. The pivot of the idea also is the finger pointing of Haj Ahmad and it shows his targeting. Indeed this great character had mentioned some sentences against the Zionist regime (the occupier regime of Qods).

Farahani expressed: “Since the statue of Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan will be installed in Maroon Al-Raas located in the occupied Palestine in order to be a memorial to show that this strong commander was kidnapped and in this regard the point of this statue will be towards the occupied lands.”?

This committed artist, who is a martyr child of the military operation ‘Beit Al-Moghadas’ said: “Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan in terms of national and belief issues was one of the outstanding commanders of the Army. I consider him as a perfect and certain commander and I deny all the false and wrong speeches which are expressed regarding his operation and the decisions which he would made. He was not a person who does activities outside of the demands of supreme leader (Imam Khomeini).

Through some sentences, he explained the features of Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan briefly and he continued: “Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan had suffered so much before the victory of Islamic Revolution and he had tolerated many difficulties; that is why he had a lovable and great personality in the war and I can reject the effect of my personal affection and interest regarding him in the development of my work.”?

Farahani described the statue and he stated: “The statue of Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan is along with the inscription on which the photo of Imam Musa Sadr has been plotted on that. The reason of choosing Imam Musa Sadr as a symbol of Shiites leadership in Lebanon is due to the strategic reasons of the place where it is going to be installed; Because Imam Musa Sadr is known for the people of Palestine and Lebanon.”?

He described: “Indeed Imam Musa Sadr was one of the outstanding characters of Shiites in Lebanon and we can claim that he revived Lebanon as well. Imam Musa Sadr was the founder Amol Movement which Lebanon Hezbollah is sourced from that. In this statue the forwarding movement of Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan is somehow sourced from the Shiites thought and it is along with a symbol that is familiar for the people of this region.”?

Farahani declared: “Imam Musa Sadr and Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan were the soldiers and students of Imam Khomeini’s school and both of them have been kidnapped by the governments of Libya and Israel. Their common aspect is that both of them are everlasting and no news is available regarding their destiny as well.”?

The designer of the stature ‘Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan’ said: “Flag is a symbol of resistance and peace and it has different meanings in this statue including remembering one of the famous speeches of Haj Ahmad that had told a war veteran ‘Each time that you were able to install the flag in the sunset place, you can live comfortably.”?

He continued: “ The forwarding movement of Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan along with a flag shows the advancement of Islam towards victory and the installation of Islam’s flag in the world.”?

Farahani added: “The rock that Haj Ahmad Motevaseliyan is getting out of that automatically shows the epic condition of this character. Somehow it makes us to remember the sermon of Imam Ali (S) who had mentioned the characteristic of military men to his child.”?

The superior of the first round of Special Prize of martyr Janbozorgi declared: “The statue of resistance is an active statue which has a forwarding and epic movement. Even it reminds the people of Shahnameh and Iranian myths.”?

According to Tavana, another statue of this great commander is being constructed in Ekbatan Metro Station as a symbol of ‘Martyrdom’.
