With regard to taking artists and intellectuals abroad to organize festivals and carrying out activities, the director said: "We regularly select intellectuals and figures in all institutes, organizations and cultural places, especially Aras Publishers because the publisher has competent and capable staff. Director of Aras Badran Habeeb is one of the chosen ones.

"Aras is one of the developed publishers in the Kurdistan Region. Its books are professional and have no deficiency. It is one of the beautiful publishers, which has its own printing house.”
