Persian manuscripts exhibit planned in Belarus

Tehran, Nov 23, IRNA

Head of National Library and Documents Organization Ali Akbar Ashari
said that an exhibition of Iran's Persian manuscripts will be held in
Belarus.

In a meeting with the head of Belarus National Library, Roman
Motulsky, he referred to the important role of the two libraries in
promoting bilateral cultural ties and said that cooperation agreements
signed between the two entities will pave the way for using each
other's experience for scientific and cultural progress.

Describing holding exhibitions of the two countries' written heritage
as a suitable opportunity for introducing their culture and
civilizations to the nations, Ashari said, "We are ready to organize a
display of Persian handwritten copies as well as books translated into
and from Belarusian language."
Motulsky, for his part, said that translation of famous Belarusian
books into Persian will help introduce Iranians with the country's
ancient literature.

Referring to the interest of Belarusian elites in Iran's manuscripts,
he further said, "Since a limited number of Persian ancient
manuscripts are maintained in the country's National Library, we want
to hold an exhibit of them in Belarus."
He also called for Iranian experts' cooperation in digitalizing the library.
