at this time, many young iranians all over this world are watching us, and i imagine them to be very happy. they are happy not just because of an important award, or a film or a filmmaker, but because at the time, in talk of war, intimidation and aggressions exchanged between politicians, the name of their country, iran, is spoken here through her glorious culture — a rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics. i proudly offer this award to the people of my country. a people who respect all cultures and civilizations, and despise hostility and resentment.
