Ideas and special interests:

Professor tried in his whole life to introduce Kerman.
One of the masters said: Doctor PARIZI remembers Kerman, every day. If he receives a newspaper, first he wants to know, is there anything in that newspaper or magazine about Kerman? If any scientific assembly recommends him for his speech, he tries to find a point to talk about Kerman. He loves people of Kerman, that region can`t be separated from his heart. Always he tries to talk about that land and its people. He loves Iran also, but nobody knows whether, in his view Iran is main or Kerman. And also, Kerman is main or PARIZ.
If somebody who is not aware of world news, reads doctor`s articles, he will definitely think, Kerman is center of Iran and PARIZ is center of Kerman.
PARIZI, believes that history and literature are mixed together. He explains: most of our literary books contains part of important part of our social history. And remembers ABAS EGHBAL who was saying: MOEZI NEISHABOURI`s journal talks on one side about history of SALJOUGHI period and on the side contains prose and verse. He continuous: there is a boundary between poetry and history and the boundaries must be respected. No body deviates from its border. Literature and history are two symbols of Iranian culture. And we have to continue the tradition and cultural practices.
PARIZI asks: what society wants out of history? Society wants history to be like other cultural sources and produces a fixed character. It has been proved that in front of incidents, only those persons will tolerate who have fixed character. Persons who are unable to mentally justify their own personality and character defects, disease, insecurity and corruption will not be reliable for the society.
He believes that,time for writing chronicling histories as former procedures has been completed and recent works by journalists, reporters, TV shootings, are presenting better documentaries.
