The symposium aimed to highlight the importance of manuscripts, which are one of the most important cultural riches of countries, as they are considered one of the most important sources in scientific, artistic, and cultural research.
The researchers recommended the need to focus on dealing with studies regarding manuscripts in Iraqi universities and the House of Books and Documents, with the preparation of studies on the manuscripts of poetry collections and literary productions and comparing them with what is available in Turkish libraries, and the need to hold scientific seminars in the field of manuscripts that benefit new researchers as well and in all scientific, literary, cultural and social fields.
This symposium achieves one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the fourth goal, which calls for quality education.
