To His Excellency Mr. Recep Tayyip Erdogan, President of the Republic of Türkiye

Dear Mr. President,
My dear Brother,
On the seventh anniversary of the July 15 events in Türkiye, we respectfully revere the dear memory of our martyrs who sacrificed their lives to prevent the coup d'état attempt.
This treacherous plan directed against the Republic of Türkiye was a difficult test in the history of your country. The people of Türkiye, who came out of this test with the heads high, once again clearly demonstrated to the whole world the indomitability of their resolve, determination, loyalty to statehood and democracy. Thanks to the determination of the Turkish people and state, who stood shoulder to shoulder on that difficult day, the victory achieved at the cost of the blood and lives of our martyrs confirmed the incomparable spirit of struggle and invincibility of your people and their love for the Motherland. The Democracy and National Unity Day established as a symbol of solidarity and national unity will remain a day of great honor in the history of Turkish statehood.
It is beyond doubt that when the real epic of heroism was written on that day as a clear manifestation of the immense faith and trust in you, the brotherly people of Türkiye rallied around you and immediately responded to your call, saving your country from great tragedies by putting an insurmountable shield against treacherous intentions.
The people and state of Azerbaijan stood by the brotherly state and people of Türkiye from the first moments of this struggle and unequivocally condemned the traitors of the country who attacked the country's constitutional structure and legitimate authority. We shared in the victory of the Turkish people, who emerged stronger from those events, as our own victory, their joy as our own joy, and their sadness as our own sadness, and we once again clearly proved that we are one nation and two states.
I am sure that we will continue our joint efforts for the sake of preserving and bequeathing to future generations the indestructible Azerbaijan-Türkiye brotherhood, unity and solidarity, which is our greatest asset, and for our comprehensively developing and strengthening strategic alliance.
Dear Mr. President, I wish you good health and continued success in your work, and peace and prosperity to the brotherly people of Türkiye.
Sincerely,

 

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Baku, 12 July 2023
