(MENAFN- AzerNews)
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev has sent a
letter to President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip
Erdogan, Azernews reports.
The letter reads:
"Dear Mr. President,
My dear Brother.
On the eighth anniversary of the events of July 15, I honor the
cherished memory of all our martyrs who sacrificed their lives to
thwart the attempted coup with profound respect and reverence, and
extend my deepest condolences to their families and to all the
people of Türkiye.
The heinous coup attempt that took place on this night, forever
etched in the blood memory of our brotherly Türkiye, was an attack
on your country's national interests, democratic foundations, and
the rule of law. The wise and brave people of Türkiye once again
wrote a heroic epic by resolutely fighting for their homeland,
statehood, and democracy, making their chests a shield. The events
of that night established July 15 as“Democracy and National Unity
Day,” a symbol of your resilient people's solidarity, struggle, and
national unity, which will always live on and be remembered with
even greater pride through the ages.
Your decisive and immediate actions and leadership played a
special role in repelling this coup attempt against Turkish
statehood, thereby saving your country from great tragedies. By
rallying tightly around you, your people once again demonstrated
their national pride, strength, and unyielding will to the world by
standing up for their state, freedom, and democracy.
From the very first moments, the Azerbaijani people and state
strongly condemned this betrayal and, as always, stood by the
brotherly Turkish state and people. This was our duty of
brotherhood and loyalty to share our joys and sorrows with
Turkiye.
Dear Mr. President, I recall with the greatest pleasure our
recent meeting in Astana and our detailed exchange of views. I am
confident that we will successfully continue our joint efforts to
further expand Azerbaijan-Turkiye relations, multi-faceted
cooperation, and strategic alliance, which are based on friendship,
mutual trust and support, thus, raising our unparalleled
inter-state relations to even greater heights.
I wish you robust health, success in your endeavors, and
everlasting peace and prosperity to the brotherly people of
Turkiye.
Sincerely,
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Baku, 12 July 2024"
