Dear Mr. President,

Dear brother,

We were deeply saddened by the news of a ruthless terrorist attack that killed and injured scores at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul.

We are extremely outraged by this horrible tragedy and consider it important and necessary to mobilize forces and carry out a joint and resolute sruggle against terrorism which has grown into a global evil.

On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my deep condolences to you, the bereaved families, the loved ones of those who died and the brotherly people of Turkey, and wish the injured the swiftest possible recovery.

May Allah rest the souls of the dead in peace!

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
