Iran leader urges students to promote culture of jihad and ²martyrdom²

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei on Wednesday
stressed that "enemies of the Islamic Republic are trying to humiliate
and diminish the value of martyrdom and the culture of jihad in the
eyes of the youth, particularly students."

In a message to the 8th Congress on Martyred Students held in the
southeastern provincial capital of Kerman, the Iranian leader urged
students to continue to promote the culture of jihad and "martyrdom"
(To die for something you believe in) among themselves as "a source of
national strength and foundation of pure worship."


  Ayatollah Khamenei, in his message, cited by IRNA, called on the youth
to honor the memory of their martyrs and to put their trust on the
Almighty God.
