From the Prime Minister of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Mr. President!
Dear brother!
On behalf of my nation, the government and myself, I express my most sincere congratulations on the occasion of the national holiday of the friendly and fraternal Azerbaijan - the Republic Day. We genuinely share the fair pride and joy of the Azerbaijani people on this auspicious day.
I boundlessly believe that our perfect bilateral relations and the strong solidarity between our fraternal peoples, who are linked to each other through shared history, culture, customs and traditions, will continue to develop into all areas and passed on to future generations.
I think that the strong bonds of solidarity between us are important for both our peoples and for peace and prosperity in our region. We are determined to continue our cooperation within this framework.
I avail myself of this opportunity to once again express my most sincere wishes for good health and happiness to you and for peace and prosperity to the friendly and brotherly people of Azerbaijan.
Sincerely,
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Prime Minister of the Republic of Turkey
