A presentation of our magnanimous Iranian heritage



جهانیان را با فرهنگ ایران آشنا می‌کنیم


This 5-ton marble statue, which is 10 times the original size, provides insight into that the Iranian people have always respected freedom as represented by the decree of Cyrus The Great. Freedom of religion and freedom of clothing, which is not respected in Afghanistan and the Islamic Republic.


This statue is a gift from the Iranian diaspora to the people of Tajikistan because Tajikistan is the only country guarding the Iranian culture and resisting fanatism and extremism. This statue is a symbol of the unity of the Iranian people regardless of the present political borders.


The production of this replica of Cyrus Cylinder started in 2020 and was finished, delivered, and installed in the  Kourosh Kabir Park in Dushanbe on May 30 th . 2022. This statue was unveiled on October 14th, 2023 through a magnificent ceremony where Mehran Moghaddas explained why we have chosen to do so. This speech was printed in 2 fonts and delivered to the audience.  You may read it below:

to return to their homelands and restored their sanctuaries.

“I have enabled all the lands to live in peace.“

Left:

The Persian king, Cyrus the Great, ended slavery,

established freedom of religion, and promoted racial equality.

His leadership led to major advances for humanity and

tolerance, compassion, and liberty to the world.
