We live and live this great day in the conditions of combating the pandemic outbreak with the most meaningful activities in appropriate channels.

On Sunday, we will realize our holy Ramadan holiday. We are celebrating the feast of all our citizens with the most sincere feelings, with the desire that those who are in trouble cause the deprived to reach well-being.
