On February 9, President of the Republic of Abkhazia Raul Khadzhimba welcomed the participants of the roundtable at the presentation of the International Fund of Culture of Fazil Iskander “Stoyanka Cheloveka”.

The President greeted the participants of the presentation.

Raul Khadzhimba remarked that the name of Fazil Iskander is dear to many people, not only to those living in Abkhazia.

“Iskander is loved by many people abroad. However, in his homeland, he became one of the symbols of its culture. He became someone who glorified his homeland’s uniqueness and everything special and valuable that it has, that is alive here today”, - said the President.

The Head of State added that through Iskander’s writings, the entire world can get acquainted with Abkhazia and understand it better. Fazil Iskander and his heroes point out the subtle psychological peculiarities of our society.

“His heroes tell us of deep philosophical truths with intellectual humour and originality. The death of Fazil Iskander became an irreparable loss for our republic. Yet, his works became part of the world culture, and it is our task to promote them, to create conditions for everyone, especially young people, to know Iskander better and to read more of his works”, - remarked Khadzhimba.

According to the Head of State, the Festival of Culture of Iskander has an additional responsibility – it will take place for the third time, but this time without Fazil Iskander. For the past two years, the Festival became a forum for the attraction of greater attention to the writer’s works, a way to popularise his heritage.

The President expressed hope that this work will be further developed by the International Fund of Culture of Fazil Iskander “Stoyanka Cheloveka”.
