President Ahmadinejad: Iranian, Muslim women willingly chose path to dignity
Tehran, 2008 Feb 2, IRNA
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Saturday that Iranian and Muslim women have willingly and freely chosen the path to dignity and attaining lofty aspirations and goals.
Addressing the First International Congress to Commemorate Women Martyrs, President Ahmadinejad said that millions of women are today ready for devoting themselves and value of their work which is equal to martyrdom.
He said women have been shouldering much graver role than men in safeguarding virtues, values and aspirations.
He added that one of the important missions is identifying women martyrs worldwide and introducing them.
Speaking of women and martyrdom is speaking of the most beautiful and the best things, though it is very difficult, noted the president.
Calling women the symbols of love, kindness, patience and devotion, President Ahmadinejad said women have necessary qualifications to transfer virtues, including lofty culture of training.
He said that women have a position equal and even superior to martyrs due to their divine features and maternal responsibilities.
The Iranian president said there are 6,610 women martyrs in Iran and said the one who nurtures a martyr is more valuable than the martyr himself.
