Dear Mr. President,

I was deeply saddened by the news of the death of former President of the Republic of Italy, outstanding statesman Giorgio Napolitano.

I highly appreciate Giorgio Napolitano's great contribution to the development of friendly and cooperative relations between Azerbaijan and Italy, and I always remember with fond memories my meetings with him.

I share your grief over this heavy loss, and extend my deep condolences to you, the family of the deceased and the entire Italian people.

President of the Republic of Azerbaijan
