Dear Mr. President,

We were deeply saddened by the news of loss of lives and injuries as a passenger train derailed on the Mashad-Yazd railroad track.

Due to this tragedy, on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan, I offer my deep condolences to you, families and loved ones of those who died and all the people of Iran, 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
