[00:06:47] used as a propaganda and intelligence war.

[00:23:05] Affairs of the Department of Information and Culture, stated that reading
[00:23:08] and libraries are the only means and path to success for the young
[00:23:12] generation. The primary goal that we are currently focusing
[00:23:16] on is the culture of reading and studying books.
[00:23:20] When one reads a book and understands its
[00:23:23] concepts, and learns about society and its problems, based on this
[00:23:27] reading and promoting a culture of study, one can solve these
[00:23:31] problems. At the same time, Atta Rahman Sadeghyar, one of the teachers

[00:23:38] programs useful for motivating children to read and study,
[00:23:41] and considered it the basis for the progress and development of
[00:23:45] societies. Any society that has progressed today
[00:23:49] has done so due to studying and having an aware generation,
[00:23:52] and undoubtedly, such programs are crucial for creating
[00:23:56] enthusiasm and motivation for reading among young people
[00:23:59] and adolescents, which undoubtedly has great benefits. We can at least
[00:24:03] present an aware generation to society, and how we can do this through reading
[00:24:07] and holding such programs, and hopefully, such programs will be continuous.
