The Minister of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan Colonel General Zakir Hasanov has sent letters of condolences to the Minister of National Defense of the Republic of Turkey, Mr. Hulusi Akar, and Chief of the General Staff, Army General Yashar Guler.
The letters say: "I am deeply saddened by the news of 3 servicemen of the glorious Turkish army becoming Shehids as a result of a treacherous terrorist attack in the Akcakale district of Sanliurfa.
Your grief is our grief too.
We are always close to the Armed Forces of fraternal Turkey and we support them with all our strength in the fight against terrorism.
I pray to Almighty Allah for the repose of the souls of the Shehids, share the sorrow and grief of their relatives, and express my deep condolences to their families.
May Allah rest the souls of the Shehids in peace".
