Knowledge and Experience: Key Principles of National Unity
TEHRAN (Iran News) According to the report, in addition to the President and the Strategic Vice President, several intellectuals and experts from the country discussed their solutions in various panels on how to expand and enhance “national unity” across political, social, international, domestic, justice, and development sectors.
Dr. Ahmad Mohammadi Sohrevardi, an economist with a post-doctoral degree and an intellectual expert, remarked on the sidelines of the event: “Unity is a broad and ambiguous concept, similar to ‘rights’ and ‘justice,’ with a history spanning over 5,000 years. Even Habil and Qabil preferred ‘discord’ over ‘unity’ when competing for minimal resources.”
He added, “What can create unity is the utilization of ‘knowledge’ and ‘experience’ of humanity. We must follow the path of development to ensure that people do not face problems in fulfilling their basic needs (social security in its broad sense) and that their dignity is preserved.”
Dr. Sohrevardi emphasized, “In this way, achieving unity, like other higher human needs, will be realized.”
Sohrevardi, born on April 9, 1972, in Sohrevard, Zanjan Province, is a distinguished professor at the University of Tehran, legal scholar, linguist, poet, author, translator, and a senior attorney at the Central Bar Association.

He chairs the Appeals Committee for licensing in the Iranian Football Federation and serves in leadership roles in Iran’s Energy Export and Transportation Federations.
Fluent in English, Arabic, Turkish, Persian, and legal French, Dr. Sohrevardi has published numerous books and articles in prestigious journals. He is also the Asian President of the World Martial Arts Federation (WMMF) for Karate and actively engages in calligraphy and Quranic interpretation.
Notably, at 14, he became an official teacher for the Ministry of Education and, by 18, was the principal of Imam Khomeini School.
