MR. ILHAM ALIYEVPRIME MINISTER REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJAN
Dear Ilham Aliyev,
I greet Milli Majlis (Parliament) resolution on your appointment as Prime Minister. Your appointment to this position will help to put into life Heydar Aliyev’s political course directed to flourishing and development of Azerbaijan.
I think that it was very wise of President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev to send a letter to the Milli Majlis offering to appoint you as Prime Minister of the Republic of Azerbaijan. I know you for long. You are a deserving son and follower of your father. I am sure that fraternal Azerbaijan will follow the road of development and uniting.
Sincerely,
Eduard Shevarnadze
