He said he hopes that Europe and the world would now change their views of the region and realise that it "can also give rise to other kinds of news and be the home of other kinds of achievement, in the field of the arts, literature and civilisation".
On je dodao da se nada da će Evropa i svet sada promeniti svoje viđenje regiona i shvatiti da on «takođe može da donese drugačiju vrstu vesti i bude kolevka drugih vrsta ostvarenja, na polju umetnosti, književnosti i civilizacije».
