Esteemed Mr. President,

My dear brother,

We were deeply shocked by the news of the casualties and injuries resulting from the terrorist act committed at Turkish Aerospace Industries (TUSAŞ).

We strongly condemn this heinous act of terrorism, and on my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Azerbaijan, I extend my deepest condolences to you, the families and loved ones of those who have died, and to the brotherly people of Türkiye, and wish the injured a recovery.

May Allah rest their souls in peace!

Ilham Aliyev

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
