In his note, he introduced himself as a veteran of culture and art, addressed some important points to the candidates running in the 13th presidential election.
He wrote:” I’m talking to 7 honorable candidates and the president elected by the people in the thirteenth term. First of all, as we get closer to the election day, unfortunately, there are no programs related to the field of culture, art and media in the debates and speeches of the esteemed presidential candidates. The country is concerned about this negligence.
Secondly, considering the special and high position of art and artists in the world, the next president can start this 4-year period completely differently and with the accompaniment of art, and introduce Iran to the world differently from the past with the special benefit of artists.”
In another part of his note he talked about Minister of Islamic Guidance and Culture.
Regarding the election of the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, I would like to ask the President to elect a Minister from the Ministry for the first time.
As an artist and a retiree of the Ministry of Guidance, I would like to say that this ministry has a lot of committed and specialized staff. Those who have known this ministry for years and above and are aware of its various departments and problems, and With the knowledge they have of this ministry for many years, they can be the savior of culture and art in the field of management.
This ministry needs a manager and an expert in management affairs, not just educated people! Mr. President, in macro-cultural and artistic policies, you can enjoy the advice of veteran artists as the flagships of the country's culture and art.”
