PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJANHIS EXCELLENCYMR. ILHAM ALIYEV
I was deeply saddened to hear of the death of your father late last week. May I offer my sincere condolences on behalf of us all at BP.
President Heydar Aliyev’s contribution will be tong remembered. He presided over the birth of the Azerbaijan nation. He pursued policies to ensure stable and sustainable development of your country and its people. He made great efforts towards regaining peace and stability within the country, and throughout the region.
We have indeed been privileged to play our part in the development of the Azerbaijani nation through the implementation of a series of major oil and gas projects that will realize, in a very practical way, President Heydar Aliyev’s far-sighted energy strategy.
May I reiterate our commitment to complete the construction and operation of our activities under the Contract of the Century, on schedule and to the highest international standards. We are able to do this as a direct result of our confidence in the Azerbaijani people and their commitment to an enduring and fruitful partnership with international investors. That was your father’s vision.
All of us at BP share in the sadness of your family and with the Azerbaijani people. I particularly wish to convey my personal sympathy to you and your family; my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Yours sincerely,
The Lord Brown of Madingly
BP Group Chief Executive,
