TO HIS EXCELLENCY Mr DMITRY MEDVEDEV, PRESIDENT OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION
Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich,
On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my cordial congratulations on the Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 to You, the veterans of frontline and home front, and the friendly people of Russia.
The friendship and strong unity of Azerbaijan and Russia honorably withstood the ordeals of the struggle against Hitler`s fascism.
Their heroism and bravery on the frontlines, as well as persistence and selfless efforts on the home front, made it possible to achieve the Victory.
I’m confident that our joint efforts for peace, stability and prosperity of our nations will be further directed towards strengthening friendship, good neighboring relations and strategic partnership between the Azerbaijan Republic and the Russian Federation.
Dear Dmitry Anatolyevich,
Please, accept my heartfelt congratulations on your taking up the post of the President of the Russian Federation.
I wish You robust health, happiness and success in your state activities, and the whole people of Russia peace and tranquility.
Taking an opportunity, I invite You to pay an official visit to Azerbaijan at any time convenient for You.
Yours faithfully,
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
