It is the west that is against us and doesn’t admit this fact. Otherwise our poetry has been recognized internationally for more than 7 centuries now”? the sacred defense poet told (SCIB) reporter. “Our war literature has a bright prospect. We need to welcome it with open arms”? he added. “Contemporary war literature also needs a lot of support and reconsideration because there have been attempts to distort it”? Qazveh expressed worry about the heritage of war being left unused. He stressed the need for Iranians to conduct research into the literature of the 8 year war with Iraq. The poet accentuated the dissimilarity between our war and other wars. “Our war was a Sacred defense for us, whereas for many other countries the war is only associated with looting.”?
