The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance called Azerbaijan and Tabriz the beating heart of Islamic Iran and said: In the 500-year history of the establishment of modern Iran, this region has defined its identity boundaries, and in these boundaries, religion and devotion to the Ahl al-Bayt are at the core of this discourse.

He continued: During this period, the field of culture and literature got a new appearance and important cultural and artistic productions took place and the birth of civilization began in this region.

Referring to Shahriar's life, Esmaeili added: Shahriar lived in a period when Iran was about to enter new ideas, but in the meantime, Shahriar became a scholar of ritual poetry and spoke poems that cannot be explained with nothing but divine help.
