“Although I’m just a writing person, the photos and videos are like 21. Century catechism for me. Using them, we can transfer our values, messages and the logical and simple standpoint in our constitution’s preamble to others: why we exist and go on? Fortunately, Mark Zuckerberg has created a channel for the world (the Facebook) which allows us to share much more of information about ourselves and also to get it from all over the world.”
