Cultural Event in Ashgabat Celebrates Persian Poet Hafez of Shiraz
A literary event honoring the legacy of the renowned Persian poet Hafez was recently held at the Cultural Center of the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Ashgabat.
The gathering featured speeches from Abdolreza Abbasi, Cultural Advisor at the Embassy; Ali Mojtaba Rouzbehani, Ambassador of Iran to Turkmenistan; and Persian language instructor Mr. Mohammedi, who teaches at the embassy’s affiliated school.
In his address, Ambassador Rouzbehani highlighted the strong cultural ties between Iran and Turkmenistan, noting that such events are made possible thanks to the dedication of both countries’ leaders to promoting cultural and humanitarian exchange. He expressed gratitude to Iranian President Dr. Pezeshkian, Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, and National Leader Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov for their continued support.
As part of the program, students studying Persian performed selected verses by Hafez in both Persian and Turkmen. Engaging competitions were held, testing students’ memorization of ghazals, understanding of vocabulary, and ability to recite classic Persian poetry.
