Rio de Janeiro, Oct 6 (EFE), (Camera: Janaína Quinet).- Brazil intends to sell the first skyscraper in Latin America. This architectural icon from the 30s, known as 'A Noite', lived its peak until the middle of the 20th century.INCLUDES FOOTAGE COURTESY OF BRAZIL'S NATIONAL LIBRARY AND NATIONAL RADIO.SOUNDBITES OF ROBERTO CABOT, VISUAL ARTIST AND GREAT-GRANDSON OF FRENCH ARCHITECT JOSEPH GIRE:"During the Vargas' Revolution in the 30s, Getúlio Vargas orders his army to set fire to the newspaper A Noite, which was an opposition newspaper that had great power. It had a radio station. It was very powerful. They had so much power that they could build that tower, similar to the ones which were being built in New York back in those days. All great newspapers built their towers, symbols of the strength and the importance of the press in those days. Getúlio Vargas (and his army) arrived there... I keep a letter that my grandad sent to my great-grandad, who was living in Paris. He describes how they threw the typewriters, the printers through the windows. They took the typewriters, furniture and threw everything from the window and then the building was set on fire. But the fire did not affect because it was made out of concrete. If it had been a steel structure, it would have been demolished. However, because it was made out of reinforced concrete, nothing happened."

His works reflect the principles and values of traditional Kazakh national culture, which have served as the foundation for the political and cultural program of the Republic of Kazakhstan.”"These complete works contain everything that UNESCO, on the 150th anniversary of his birth, recognized as values and principles of dialogue, diversity, development, culture of peace and building bridges in the intercultural dialogue between East and West. Let us not forget that Kazakhstan, in the heart of Central Asia, at the heart of the Silk Road, has inspired those relations of cordiality, friendship, respect and tolerance among the people who have been part of this mythical Silk Road for over 2,000 years.”"In ‘The Book of Words’ the poet Abay embodied the fundamental principles and values that have shaped the actions and political program of the Kazakh government, the values and principles of a culture of peace, of intercultural dialogue, which President Nazarbayev championed when he declared Kazakh independence 29 years ago. Kazakhstan has always been characterized by laying the foundations for and building bridges to dialogue, to multilateral relations, to imprint the culture of peace and dialogue between people and nations through the power of the word.”"This program, so well designed by President Nazarbayev, has been continued with great success by President Tokayev. And this has led to the fact that, since his appearance in the United Nations Security Council, as in the last measures taken by President Tokayev, these values and principles have inspired the actions of the government, because they are a value, a legacy, a strength that has given Kazakhstan a reputation on the international stage as a country of dialogue, respect and tolerance, and which has imprinted the culture of peace in each and every one of its actions."Keywords: efe,spain,kazakhstan,abay,qunanbaiuly,silk,road,unesco
