Kirsan Ilyumzhinov congratulated all Muslims on the holiday of Eid al-Adha. The message reads as follows:
“I congratulate all Muslims on one of the most revered holidays of Islam - Eid al-Adha!
Marking the end of the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, Eid al-Adha awakens the best aspirations in the souls of believers: compassion, selflessness and mercy for others. The history of this bright holiday goes back centuries. It personifies the ideals of mercy, mutual respect, compassion and care for those in need. It supports the main moral values, generosity and spiritual unity and awakens the desire for good.
I sincerely wish this great holiday fill your homes with good and happiness. May it always serve the harmony and unity of all people; familiarize them with its centuries-old religious and historical traditions. May your faith be strong and hearts filled with love.
"Wisdom, peace, health and longevity to you and your loved ones!"
