Then Amir Hussein Fardi thanked the festival’s jury and the participant writers.

We are the story’s main characters, but figures like Ghanipour have fulfilled their responsibilities and we still have to.”
We are today celebrating literature and books. Habib Ghanipour was a potential writer whose capabilities weren’t flourished yet. The festival is named after him and hope it will improve during the upcoming editions, he added.
We intend to select books which are precious in martyrs’ ideology and highlighting resistance literature is among its objects, the manager of Art Bureau’s literary creations center noted.
