As the director of the House of Friendship of Peoples of the Chelyabinsk region Yulia Lapidus told, the previous mass celebration of Navruz in the region took place in 2013. Then the holiday was stopped due to difficulties with financing. It is noteworthy that the resumption of celebrations coincided with the 15th anniversary of the House of Friendship of Peoples.
