Under the critical
situation that seeds of discard have been sown among our countrymen, and
because of the civil war they have been divided in to various factions, we
the members of the Afghans Pen Club in Stockholm strongly believe that
there are still many common points and grounds among our people and in
spite of the harmful dominance of bigotry, shortsightedness and ignorance
we can rely on our national, historical and religious values to fill in
the gaps of hatred among various factions and revive our common national
conscience.
That is why our
members follow the ”Pen” - the best and the noblest tool – in the hand of
human being.
We would try to
reunite our culturati from all tribes and religious sects and bridge over
their different standpoints.
We rely on an
enlightening rationalism to bring the best aspect of various cultures
closer to one another and confirm our stanch support of the democratic
values based on social justice referred to in the United Nations Charter
on human rights. We specially stress on cultural concepts pointed out in
the UN Charter.
