Dear Ilham Heydar oglu!

Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on the occasion of the national holiday of Azerbaijan – the Republic Day.

I am convinced that the day of the restoration of the Azerbaijani state is not just a memorable date, but also an event of historic significance embodying the implementation of the freedom-loving aspirations of the Azerbaijani people.

I am confident that the positive potential of cooperation accumulated by Ukraine and Azerbaijan will continue to deepen the strategic partnership between our countries and be enriched with new projects in the economic and humanitarian spheres and in the field of regional cooperation.

Dear Ilham Heydar oglu, I send you my best wishes for every success in your political activities, and peace and prosperity for the hard-working people of Azerbaijan.

Sincerely,

Leonid Kuchma
Former President of Ukraine
