Iran Press/Iran news: Speaking on Thursday in the fifty-sixth Congress of 6,500 Martyrs of Kerman province, Major General Ghasem Soleimani stated that the Iranian people, during the 8-year Sacred Defense, turned the imposed war crisis into two valuable results: First, the Iranian people managed to eradicate the decayed culture of the Pahlavi Dynasty, and the other, to bring true religious culture and values of Shia religion.
The Major General said that as the revolution succeeded in overthrowing the Pahlavi regime, what made the imposed war an opportunity for our country and brought forth important cultural achievements within this war, was 'Sacred Defense,' Iran Press reported.
"The sacred defense was the main symbol of the Cultural Revolution, and it showed the true power of religion and reliance on religion," Soleimani added.
Elsewhere in his speech, Major General Soleimani commemorated the memory of the martyrs of the Islamic Revolution, the martyrs of the Holy Defense and the martyred holy shrine defenders. 213/211/103
