The month of Ramadan, which started on June 29, is now about to come to an end.

Depending upon the sighting of the Shawwal moon (hilal), the holiday of Ramadan coincides with July 28 or 29 in the Gregorian Calendar. The Azerbaijani government declared both dates as holidays.

President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev and Chairman of the Caucasian Muslims Board have already congratulated the people of Azerbaijan.
