[000:00:00;00] there has been news and one of the biggest cultural events of the past 12 months, and perhaps the biggest cultural event in west asia in the field of book publishing and printing, as well as those who are interested in receiving and using the country's cultural findings from all corners of the country. dr. yasir ahmadvand, deputy minister of guidance and deputy minister of culture and chairman of the 34th international book fair, welcome to the first page program in the name of allah

, the most high, and the most merciful. your service before we get into the topic of the exhibition, there may be the question of how many books i read from these iranian people and what should be done to increase the interest in reading books . there are no libraries, compared to many people in other countries, the people of iran are fond of reading books . according to the research conducted by the broadcasting research center , the active population of our society, engin , reads for more than 30

minutes a day. the basis for announcing these times what has happened? also, we have said and seen a number that is repeated many times in virtual networks, especially goods , i have nothing to do with statistics and figures . it is not clear, but it is obviously worn out and constantly repeated until the latest statistics announced by the iranian statistics center, approximately 20 minutes per day, which was announced for the entire population of iran, so the 2 minutes and 30 minutes statistics must be incorrect or hot, related to the years it was before, of course, in a period when

the literate population of our country has been very warm, the number of books published in the country has been very few, and the best statistics could be related to the size, but now that we have reliable statistics in this field, the reading statistics have also increased, and the number of students and professors has increased. and we can see the teachers, students and cultural departments with a thumb count, which are very many. how is it possible to have such few statistics? what should we do in order to increase the interest in books and reading ? many things must be done.

the universal cultural habit does not happen with a magic wand with practice and repetition, and many people play a role in this matter . library skills should be taught from childhood. we emphasize that the library is a skill of our people. the book, including the tehran book fair, shows that i like books, they like libraries, but they don't study to this extent, because reading skills are not taught. skill training he designed book reading for school teachers, edited and produced a video

for this, and it was included as part of the in-service training for dear teachers . this course started last week, and about 340,000 teachers participated in this course. to see and be able to make the book the center of the activities in the school, schools will be equipped with mobile phones, libraries will be equipped, we have done good equipment in this field for many years, for various reasons, mosque libraries should be equipped now, and of course, perhaps the most important part another is the number of bookstores our services must be expanded. access to books in different cities is not easy. the distance

from where people have their first bookstore is a long distance. in some cities, small towns do not have bookstores. everything must be put together and gradually. reading statistics have increased, we can see that with the reception of children and teenagers by the families, their passion for reading is more. our future generation will definitely be the generation of book readers, although sometimes new technologies and devices are introduced that compete with reading , but our future will be bright in the library. was now whether the printed paper book and the glue of the electronic book or the audio book will have the benefit of these factors together, the society

will move towards becoming more book-readers. in the arab world , they say that the egyptians write books, the lebanese print , and the iraqis pick up. my house has nothing to do with the current situation, whether this statement is true or not, but it seems that this is happening in the islamic republic of iran . the quran and now the book exhibition, which are really one or two yesterday, there was a very wide

reception. how can holding these cultural exhibitions be effective in solving these cultural concerns in the field of books and book reading and even published foods ? which was published in the country, if you have seen its examples, dear drivers, you have seen the last page of the book or the back cover of the number of 600, 700, and 604. 704 is usually the maximum number of book titles to be published during the year, and it was the 500th book, 609 books. it has been almost in the history of our publication until now since the victory of the islamic revolution, about 2,500 books have been published in the country with registered titles. after the victory of the revolution

, there are nearly two million registered titles and it is estimated that 20 to 30 percent of this is even more. it didn't work. is the distance a thousand times or a thousand times greater? now iranians also write , publish and read, they also benefit from the good works of the world . the pride of the great cultural achievement for the people our dear country is blessed with this event, but the second part of your comments, what is the role of cultural events, such as the book exhibition, the quran exhibition

, and exhibitions of this kind, these events are not sales-oriented events, they are not organized in order to sell a product, this is through virtual space or chain stores and small stores can find it. the event means a community around a theme. the community brings power . always be strong. greed, yadullah, ma al-jamaa, yadallah. power is a sign of power. it is a wrong sign. power creates power in any field , in the field of culture and society. cultural power. and create

the book exhibition is the manifestation of the cultural power of the people of islamic iran. you will be filled with enthusiasm when you see how many hundreds of thousands of people gathered in one place for a book in one day . that there are various problems , but people should take the trouble to come and be in one place for the present book , speak with their family and use the diverse cultural programs of the same environment. see their own culture and it strengthens it the excitement that we see in the book fair is like this, everyone who enters and leaves the book fair feels cheerful and hopes for something great

to happen to us in order to get to know the atmosphere of the fair a little bit. for the past three days, by visiting and preparing for radio and television, during this time, he has tried to publish a wide coverage in various fields live and of course in the form of news reports, for one we see a report, we must talk about it . international book fair is 34 years old this year and many book lovers have brought themselves here the exhibition was held in tehran, but not all visitors are from tehran. where did we come from? we came from qazvin to denmark

. we were tired. there are so many books. let's study , choose a philosophy, and look at it . it takes time. well, another good book that is suitable, whether religious, historical or philosophical, the only material being family and friends, the main purpose of study is familiarity with the book, and fourthly, according to the statistics of the iranian broadcasting research center , you read 8 hours and 18 minutes per month, the number of hours and 32 minutes per capita reading non-course books and one hour and 46 minutes of reading

newspapers and periodicals is an exhibition, see the story of your expression. how many books do you read? we should read at least one hour a day. they are interested in reading at least 2 hours a day . many of us read books, and finally, a poet and a writer, a poet, a writer, and a servant. the real god is the simin of my book that is going to be published . authorized this year three thousand domestic and foreign publishers

and it is different from other book clubs in the world in this respect, almost except for one or two exceptions, all book fairs in the world, fairs where publishers sell books, there are almost no book fairs in asia. no, the book was not sold. there are a significant number of exhibitions in europe, and this book was sold on all days, but on some days, so it is a common occurrence that the book is sold at the exhibition. however, if only the book is sold, i said no. from this community opportunity it should be used for the benefit of the production of cultural power. it should be used for the benefit of the cultural classes. in
