The virtues of the martyrs should be passed down to the younger generation through attractive and innovative programs, according to remarks by the Supreme Leader published on Thursday.
Commemorating the name of the martyrs is synonymous with jihad, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The remarks had been made in a meeting on May 30 in Tehran with officials in charge of holding a national congress in commemoration of martyrs of Sabzevar and Neyshabur, two cities in the northeastern Iranian province of Razavi Khorasan.
Some 4,500 people from the two cities were martyred during the Iraqi-imposed war of the 1980s.
