Dear Mr President,

Dear brother,

We were deeply saddened by the news of casualties and injuries as a fire broke out at a student dormitory in the Aladağ district, Adana province.

We share your grief over this tragedy. On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend deep condolences to you, families and the loved ones of those who died, and the brotherly people of Turkey, and wish the injured swiftest possible recovery.

May Allah rest the souls of the dead in peace!

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
