Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,

I was deeply saddened by the news of the death of children as a result of a storm on Lake Syamozero in Karelia.

On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my deepest condolences to you, the families and loved ones of those who died and the whole people of Russia.

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
