More than 48,600 families in the city of Hisor will receive the immortal epic poem "Shahnameh" by the great poet Abulkasim Ferdowsi. This was announced on Thursday by Umedjon Khodjiev, chief specialist of the Printing and Publishing Department of the Ministry of Culture of Tajikistan.
"By order of the President of the Republic of Tajikistan, Leader of the Nation Emomali Rahmon, in order to thoroughly study the history and cultural heritage of the Tajik people, the book 'Shahnameh' has been published and will be distributed to every family in the country. In Hisor, 48,651 families will receive copies," he noted.
According to Khodzhiev, the head of state's initiative has received a broad response from the population. "Every citizen of the country happily accepts this gift. This noble act will forever be inscribed in golden letters in the history of the nation," the Ministry of Culture representative emphasized.
In one of his speeches, Emomali Rahmon noted the importance of books for the spiritual development of society. "A book is the fruit of the mind and intellect of a civilized nation, the main factor in preserving national culture, and one of the most important means of educating society. It broadens a person's horizons and worldview and guides them on the right path in life," the president emphasized.
The initiative to present the Shahnameh became part of a state program to popularize national culture and educate the younger generation in a spirit of respect for the history and traditions of the Tajik people.
