Salam
What do you guys think about this? I am asking this question as a non farsi speaker since I am native Pashto speaker but just wanted your opinion about this. Does Turkey have more right over Rumi or Afghanistan?
Afghanistan has protested neglect as Iran and Turkey have reportedly agreed to register Masnavi-ye Manawi, the masterpiece of Mawlanaa Jalaluddin Balkhi in the UNESCO’s Memory of World Register.
Iranian media have reported that Tehran and Ankara had reached an agreement to submit the oldest version of the book which is Konya of Turkey.
Meeting with UNESCO representative to Afghanistan on Wednesday, the country’s acting foreign minister, Nasir Ahmad Andesha, said when the “well-known” literary work of Rumi is registered in the organization, the historical reality of the birthplace of Mowlana Jalaluddin Mohamad Balkhi should not be overlooked and his connection with the country should not be forgotten.
Meanwhile, Ata Mohammad Noor, the governor of Afghanistan’s Balkh province, has sent a letter to the country’s permanent representative to U.N. protesting the issue.
“Balkh is proud of having a son like Mowlana who acquired global fame and whose work is considered a world intellectual heritage. By limiting Mowlana to only 2 countries, we do not do justice to a global personality who is truly cherished and admired across the world.”
