The message said:

“I cordially congratulate the Muslims of Russia on the festival of Kurban-Bairam.

This holiday is being marked today under the sign of the further revival of the spiritual life of the millions of followers of Islam in our country.

Tolerance and good-neighbourliness, peacefulness and care of near ones are real values of Islam. Today, they acquire a special importance, serving as a strong foundation for peace and accord and contributing to the unity of our multiethnic Homeland.

I am sure that Russian Muslims will continue to make a worthy contribution to strengthening the moral foundation of society, and to the development of fruitful inter-faith dialogue.

From the bottom of my heart I wish you good health, happiness and wellbeing.”
