00:00A great satisfaction is 30 years of work in various nations of the Middle East, an area
00:10constantly troubled by internal and external wars, and the defense of the archaeological
00:17heritage of those nations is a duty that I carry out in Azerbaijan and also in Iraq,
00:24and thanks also to diplomacy, our ambassadors, we manage to carry out this work two or three
00:30months a year.
00:31These are great sacrifices, but then we bring home, I don't know, the creation of an exhibition
00:36that we are doing in Catania, at the University of Catania, with objects from the British
00:41Museum, from the Pergamon, from other world museums, and it is to bring pieces of this
00:47ancient Mesopotamian culture of 5,000 years ago to Italy.
00:52And this is something that I am quite proud of and proud of.
00:56Our Ministry of Foreign Affairs is a step towards our efforts, there is a collaboration
01:04with scholars from various nations, but today, for example, in Iraq, Italy is the nation
01:09that has the largest number of archaeological missions, because the Iraqis blindly trust
01:14our tradition in archaeology, restoration, conservation and the promotion of cultural assets.
