Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev expressed condolences to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on June 29 over the terrorist attack at the Ataturk airport.

The message reads:

“Dear Mr. President,

Dear brother,

We were deeply saddened by the news of a ruthless terrorist attack that killed and injured scores at Ataturk Airport in Istanbul.

We are extremely outraged by this horrible tragedy and consider it important and necessary to mobilize forces and carry out a joint and resolute struggle against terrorism which has grown into a global evil.

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

May Allah rest the souls of the dead in peace!”

Three suicide bombers launched a major attack at the Ataturk Airport last night, spraying bullets into crowds of terrified passengers and security personnel before blowing themselves up, injuring more than 147 people and killing at least 36.

Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said that initial indications suggest the Daesh terror group was behind the attack but the investigation is still underway, Daily Sabah reported.
