Dear Ms Federal Chancellor,

I was deeply shocked by the news of the death of many German nationals in the aftermath of a crash of a Germanwings Airbus A320.

I share your grief, and on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, offer deep condolences to you, families and relatives of those who died and all the people of Germany.

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
