Moscow (Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on Tuesday congratulated Muslims in Russia on the Muslim holiday Kurban-Bairam (Eid al-Adha).
"Traditions of good-neighborliness between people of different nations, religions and cultures have deep historical roots in our country. One of the key roles in their preservation is played by the multi-million Muslim community in Russia," Medvedev said in his congratulatory address released by the Kremlin press service.
"This holiday symbolizes inner purity, mercy and righteousness and teaches people to be kind and just and to be humane and attentive to their neighbors. Adherence to these universal human values is the foundation of interethnic and inter-religious accord and promotes the spiritual revival of society and the education of the younger generation in the spirit of patriotism and respect for high moral principles," Medvedev said.
