Nowruz is the holiday of spring and friendship

The Nowruz festival gathered more than seven thousand guests from various countries of the world in Moscow in the ‘Rossia’ state central concert hall, including ambassadors of Azerbaijan, Iran, Kazakhstan and the republics of Central Asia. The tradition of celebrating Nowruz was born many centuries ago. It is the day when night becomes shorter, and spring is completely in charge of nature. It is marked by many peoples who live in Russia and abroad. The colorful event was organized by the Department of Ethnic Policy, Inter-Religious Ties and Tourism of Moscow with the support of embassies of foreign countries, representatives of Russian regions and national social organizations of Moscow.
