Dear Mr President,

Dear brother,

I was deeply saddened by the news of casualties caused by the collapse of a building and a helicopter crash in Istanbul.

On the occasion of this tragedy, 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 Turkey, and wish the injured recovery.

May those killed rest in peace!
