Dear Mr. President,

Dear brother,

We were extremely saddened by the news of heavy casualties and injuries as a result of the traffic accident on the Gaziantep-Nizip Highway.

On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan, I extend my deep condolences to you, the families, and the loved ones of those who were killed, and the brotherly people of Turkiye, and wish the injured recovery.

May Allah rest their souls in peace!

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
