Russian President Vladimir Putin has extended his warmest congratulations to the Muslims of Russia on the occasion of Uraza Bayram.
"I cordially congratulate the Muslims of Russia on the holiday of Uraza Bayram, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
For centuries, Uraza Bayram has symbolized for the followers of Islam the joy of renewal, striving for moral perfection, purity of thoughts and deeds.
Russian Muslims carefully preserve the rich historical, cultural and religious traditions of their ancestors and, following their fathers' precepts, celebrate this holiday in their communities and family circles, and provide assistance to those in need.
Muslim organizations constructively participate in the life of the country, in the implementation of popular patriotic, educational and charitable initiatives, fruitfully cooperate with state and public structures, give priority attention to the upbringing of the younger generation. They support participants and veterans of the special military operation, their relatives and friends. They make a great contribution to strengthening the cohesion of our people and preserving interethnic harmony.
I wish the Muslims of Russia health, success and all the best. President of Russia Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin."
