Nowruz: How 7m people celebrate Persian New Year in Kyrgyzstan. Holiday

The celebration of the arrival of spring according to the astronomical solar calendar among the Iranian and Turkic peoples. Novruz is a national tradition that has no direct relation to Islamic customs.
Navruz acquired the official status in the Achaemenid Empire as a religious holiday of Zoroastrianism. It continues to be celebrated everywhere after the Arab conquests, up to the present time. In modern times, it is celebrated on the days on which the vernal equinox falls.
It should be noted that in the Middle East, Nowruz is celebrated only by representatives of those peoples who lived there before the arrival of the Arabs, the spread of Islam and the emergence of the Arab Caliphate. Accordingly, Novruz, for example, is not celebrated by Arabs. In Turkey, from 1925 to 1991, the official celebration of Novruz was banned. In Syria, the celebration of Navruz is still prohibited.
