Dear Mr. President,
My dear brother,
I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing away of Turkey`s prominent public-political figure, Necmettin Erbakan.
Necmettin Erbakan made invaluable contributions to strengthening and development of Azerbaijan-Turkish friendship and brotherhood and, thus, earned great reverence and reputation in our country.
On behalf of myself and the people of Azerbaijan, I would like to express my deepest condolences to You, family and friends of the deceased, and to the people of Turkey over this heavy loss.
May Allah rest his soul in peace!{nl}

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Baku. 28.02.2011.
