ANKARA (AA) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani on Tuesday exchanged Eid al-Adha greetings.
Erdogan and al-Thani held a phone call ahead of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, which is the most important Muslim holiday, marking the culmination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia.
Most majority-Muslim countries around the world, including Türkiye, will observe the four-day holiday starting on Wednesday.
The holiday commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim, or Abraham, to sacrifice his son at the command of God, before the last-minute divine substitute of a ram.
Muslims sacrifice animals in commemoration of this intervention and share the meat with the poor and their relatives.
