Dear President, dear brother.

I have been shocked by the news of heavy loss of life in a fire in a multistorey apartment block in Baku.

On behalf of my people and on my own behalf, I pray to Allah to rest the souls of our brothers and sisters, who died in this tragedy, in peace, and extend my condolences to you and in your person to all the people of Azerbaijan, and wish the injured soonest recovery.

Please be assured that Turkey is ready to provide any kind of support to Azerbaijan on this issue if needed. 

Yours sincerely,
Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of the Republic of Turkey
