President Ilham Aliyev congratulated the people on the occasion of Ramadan. The celebration of Ramadan at the state level is an indicator of the fact that Azerbaijan highly appreciates the principles of multiculturalism and tolerance, the statement says.
"Today, we reaffirm to the world that we remain committed to the national values in our hearts and we maintain human values. We take our religious and ethnic diversity as richness of our spiritual integrity. Therefore, I send all our citizens and all compatriots living outside the country my hearty congratulations on the occasion of this dear day for us and I wish your families happiness and well-being, as well as good and abundance to your homes," the congratulatory message says.
In Azerbaijan, Ramadan is celebrated on July 17-18, which are non-working days. -03D04-
