The message reads, in part:

“This holiday is marked around the country, both in religious communities, in the family and with friends. Over many years, Russia’s Muslim organisations have been actively involved in the life of the nation, highlighting the preservation of the family and family values, charity and education. They do all they can to maintain ethnic and religious peace and to encourage young people’s respect for the customs and traditions of their forefathers. This hard, selfless and fruitful work deserves our respect and support.”
