Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with a group of families of martyrs in Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah on Sunday morning.
The fathers, mothers, and wives of the martyrs are the only ones who can preserve their memories, the Leader added.
Young people need role models, he said, adding that the martyrs are the models for the Iranian people and youth.
Ayatollah Khamenei called on the families to narrate their memories about the behaviors, adherences, and religious and social beliefs of the martyrs.
These are all lessons, the Leader said, adding that these memories should be published, and be used by the young generation of the country.
The Leader called on the media as well as artists of all disciplines to promote the memory of the martyrs in an artistic and attractive way.
“Of course, good works have been done in the field of publishing books, films, and some other artistic products in recent years, but they are not enough compared to the great works that should have been done,” he maintained.
He further referred to the developments of Iran in the 1979 Islamic Revolution, saying that martyrs changed the country's destiny in one of the most sensitive periods of the country's history.
The Islamic Revolution saved the country from moral, religious, and political decline, he said.
