By initiating the celebration of 3000 years of Zarathushti Culture Tajikistan has started a wave, which has and is having a worldwide effect. Tajikistan has repeated its history.
(The first government that accepted Zarathuhstra's teachings was that of Shah Gostasp the King of Balkh, which is part of present day Tajikistan)
In spite of the short notice the Zarathushties followed the Tajiks united in their purpose, each organization celebrating the event within their means and the celebrations are still continuing in some corner of the world. There was no pessimism or argument although everyone had reservations with regard to the date, but at the same time everyone understood the greater purpose and the importance of the event. We need to keep up the same spirit.
The President of Tajikistan His Excellency Emomali Rahmonov who conducts his affairs based on the principle of Good Thoughts Good Words and Good Deeds, while speaking at the anniversary of the Republic of Tajikistan on the 8th of September 2003 made yet another announcement he declared the year 2006 as the YEAR OF REVIVAL OF THE ANCIENT ARYAN CIVILIZATION AND CULTURE.

The Government & people of Tajikistan have been in the forefront and have lead the world in recognizing the greatness and importance of the Ancient Iranian Culture and the Teachings of its greatest son Zarathushtra.
Their efforts resulted in UNESCO dedicating the year 2003 for the celebration of 3000 years of Zarathushti Culture and Religion. In continuation of their cultural quest the government of Tajikistan declared the year 2006 as the year forRevival of the Ancient Aryan Civilization & Culture.
IRAN ZAMIN in appreciation of their dedication would like to support them in their efforts. We decided to lead all those who love the ancient Iranian Culture and Religion in building Cultural Centers in Tajikistan. Since October 2003 we have begun our mission.
What is our Plan?
*To set up a fund and collect money from well-wishers for building a cultural center within the borders of ancient Iran.
*Build a center that would illustrate the Wisdom of the greatest Aryan of all times, Zarathushtra.
*The architecture of the building will depict the teachings of Zarathushtra by way of Bas-relief.
*The name of all well-wishers who contribute towards the building will be mentioned for posterity in the building.
What have we done?
We have set up a fund called "TAJIKISTAN 2006 FUND" and are receiving contributions.
We have received help from a renowned Chartered Architect Mr. Dadi Surti who has agreed to plan and oversee the building of the center.
We have got a set of initial drawings of how the center could look.
We are negotiating to acquire land for the building.
In the mean time we have invested the principal amount and are using the interest to give scholarship to Tajik and Uzbek students.
