It is important that artists and the cultural community of our country always have a good reaction to their artists, and I can say a lot to Mr. Entezai. Because  I had the opportunity to look and learn from him  since forty, fifty years ago .Not only  Ezzatollah Entezami was  a stage artist and a cinema actor, but also for me he was a life artist . Today, when I came here, I thought if we can call it Iranian morality, this trait would find itself epic. The ethics I saw in Ezatollah in my life was Iranian morality, because he has always very flexiblity and  he has always gotten his right."
