Dear Mr. President,

We were deeply saddened by the news of heavy casualties and injuries as a result of a horrible terror attack committed at a hospital in the city of Quetta.

We are outraged by this horrifying terror attack and consider it important to carry out a joint and resolute fight against terrorism.

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 were killed and the whole people of Pakistan and wish those injured the soonest recovery.

May Allah rest the souls of those who died in peace!

 Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
