    President Sargsyan: Happy Nowruz to Armenia's Kurds and Iran

    10:17, March 21, 2015


    Armenian President Sezh Sargsyan has sent a letter of congratulations
    to Kurds living in Armenia on the occasion of Newroz (Nowruz) marking
    the first day of spring or Equinox and the begging of the year in the
    Persian calendar.

    Nowruz is celebrated by people from diverse ethnic communities and
    religious backgrounds for thousands of years. It is a secular holiday
    for most celebrants that is enjoyed by people of several different
    faiths, but remains a holy day for Zoroastrians.

    Sargsyan wished representatives of the Kurdish community health and
    happiness, and that all their troubles, large and small, remain behind
    them.

    The word 'Newroz' is Kurdish for the Persian Nowruz. The Kurds
    celebrate this feast between March 19 and 21. It is one of the few
    'people's celebrations' that has survived and predates all the major
    religious festivals. The holiday is considered by Kurds to be the
    single most important holiday of every year.

    Sargsyan also sent a congratulatory message to Iranian President
    Hassan Rouhani and Seyed Ali Khameni, the Supreme Leader of Iran.
    Sargsyan, in his message, wished peace, success and prosperity to the
    Iranian people.
