Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has offered condolences to Theresa May, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

“We were deeply saddened by the news of heavy casualties as a result of an explosion in Manchester,” the message reads.

“We are extremely outraged by this ruthless terror attack and consider it necessary and important to jointly fight against terrorism in a resolute manner.

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

At least 22 people - including children - are dead and 59 more injured after a suicide bomber targeted youngsters leaving a packed pop concert at Manchester Arena last night in Britain's worst terror attack since 7/7, according to Daily Mail.
