Dear Mr President,

Dear brother,

I was deeply saddened by the news of casualties and injuries caused by a train crash in Ankara.

On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my deepest condolences to you, families and the loved ones of those who died and the brotherly people of Turkey, and wish those injured swiftest possible recovery.

May Allah rest the dead in peace!
