TO TAMARA SINYAVSKAYA
Dear Tamara Ilyinichna,
It is with great pain that I learned the news of the untimely demise of your spouse, outstanding musical figure of the contemporary world Muslim Magomayev.
Together with the whole people of Azerbaijan I mourn over this heavy loss and offer to you my deepest condolences. We all perceive this death as our personal loss, as an irreplaceable loss for all Azerbaijanis and the whole music world. For us, Muslim Magomayev was a symbol of an entire epoch, an embodiment of genuine art and an idol for millions of people.
All in Azerbaijan remember how profound love and care unforgettable Heydar Aliyevich Aliyev had for Muslim Magomayev. He called Muslim a live legend of musical art, and considered him a worthy successor of the traditions laid down in Azerbaijan by Muslim Magomayev’s grandfather.
All who knew and loved this great singer and a man of tremendous charm share your sorrow.
May God bless you.
Ilham Aliyev
President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Baku, 25 October, 2008
