PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF AZERBAIJANHIS EXCELLENCY MR ILHAM ALIYEV
On behalf of myself and Chevron Texaco, I want to say how saddened we were to learn of the recent death of your father, Mr. Heydar Aliyev, the President of the Azerbaijan Republic from 1993-2003.
Chevron Texaco recognizes all that Mr. Heydar Aliyev achieved for his country during his term of leadership. His guiding paternal hand created the favorable conditions, which you have continued, enabling the successful participation of foreign companies in Azerbaijan. As a result of your father’s vision and strong support, Chevron Texaco has been involved in many aspects of Azerbaijan’s growing oil and gas industry.
Many members of our board, including Mr. Peter Robertson, Vice Chairman of Chevron Texaco, who has the privilege of meeting Mr. Heydar Aliyev in Baku, have requested me to personally express their condolences for your loss.
Our thoughts are with you, your family and people of the Republic of Azerbaijan during this difficult time.
Respectfully yours
Guy Hollingsworth
