The general manager of World Heritage Sites office of Iran's Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHHTO) told Mehr News Agency about the plan to create natural heritage sites in Iran.
Farhad Azizi said that the dossiers for Iran’s natural heritage sites would be filed to be sent for UNESCO’s World Heritage status.
The Iranian official continued that the sites are chosen and after the completion of the legal procedures for gaining allocations the sites would be filed for UNESCO consideration.
Touching upon the Iran’s sixth 5-year plan of cultural, social and economic development, Azizi lamented that the natural sites were not devised in the plan and there were just allocations for historical and national sites in it.
He expressed hope to succeed in the next four months in including the natural heritage sites in the plan as a committee has been formed to ease the process.
