The President’s message of congratulations reads as follows:

“This holiday is in integral part of Russia’s spiritual heritage.

We are all citizens of one great country and only through respect and understanding for each other can we make our Motherland prosper and flourish.

I am sure that the development of dialogue between religions and a respectful and caring attitude towards the centuries-old traditions of all the different religious communities here will continue to help consolidate Russian society in the future.

I wish all the Muslims of Russia health, happiness and the warmth of home and hearth”.
