Dear Mr. President,

Dear brother,

We were deeply saddened by the news that Turkish soldiers were martyred and injured as a result of a horrible terror attack in Kayseri.

We condemn this bloody accident, support you fight against the evil of terrorism, and always stand by brotherly Turkey.

On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my deepest condolences to you, the bereaved families, 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

Baku, December 17, 2016
