Esteemed Dmitry Anatolyevich,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of mass loss of life as a result of a terrorist act in Makhachkala.
We resolutely condemn all forms of terrorism.
On behalf of myself and the people of Azerbaijan, I extend my deepest condolences to you, families and relatives of the victims and all the people of Russia. I wish the injured speedy recovery.

Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
