The message reads, in part:
“This ancient holiday, which is significant for every Muslim, marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, symbolises commitment to humanistic ideals, piety and mercy, and turns believers to the origins of Islam and the high moral guidelines that underlie all world religions.
Relying on enduring spiritual values, Russian Muslims make a worthy contribution to strengthening interethnic peace and harmony in society, preserving cultural diversity, and defending the priority interests of our country.”
