Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has congratulated the Azerbaijani people on the occasion of Novruz, APA reports.
The message of congratulations says:
“Dear fellow countrymen! I sincerely congratulate you on the occasion of Novruz and wish each one of you good health, happiness and spring mood. The Spring holiday, which is the treasure of national existence and morality, is the memory of our wise ancestors for the present generations. This national holiday, which is connected with the unchangeable harmony and eternal laws of the universe, is a splendid example of our centuries-old culture. Novruz traditions hold an exceptional place among our values and have become an integral part of our people’s mentality. Novruz, which calls the representatives of the society to interaction, strengthens sincerity and forms high moral features, is among the universal cultural values.
The Spring holiday was not forgotten even in the hardest times, did not let us lose confidence. Rooted in the depths of our souls, Novruz kept alive our consciousness and is one of the significant factors that ensured the realization of independent statehood ideals in Azerbaijan late in the past century. The preservation of ancient Novruz festivities, which unite richness of our moral culture, in the globalizing, rapidly changing world, is the symbol of Azerbaijan’s devotion to historical-cultural, national and moral heritage.
The arrival of spring is distinguished by the large-scaled reconstruction and renovation works in all parts of our motherland and numerous achievements improving our people’s welfare. Thousands of our compatriots are seeing this holiday abroad rallying behind the ideology of Azerbaijanism together with us. Let this holiday bring every family abundance and good mood! Happy Novruz!”
