Public holidays in Azerbaijan

A Turkish defense firm on July 20 released images of its conceptual design for an unmanned combat aircraft system.

The images were released by the company, Baykar, on the first day in Turkey of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, or the Festival of the Sacrifice.

"We wish our nation and the entire Islamic world a healthy and happy Eid al-Adha," the manufacturer said on Twitter.

Turkey is celebrating the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, which marks the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage and the second most important religious festivity after Eid al-Fitr.

For the second year in a row, millions of people across Turkey are marking the holiday under the shadow of the pandemic, but with lighter protective measures compared to last year.

Turkey is tightening traffic checks and controls as millions of people are hitting the roads to travel to resort towns and other cities to benefit from the long Eid al-Adha holiday.

At least 60 people were killed in road accidents during the Eid al-Adha holiday last year.

Millions of people are expected to hit the roads to flock to Turkey's coastal provinces or their hometowns as Turkish authorities have extended the Eid al-Adha holiday.
