The press release of the Secretary General Ambassador Ramil Hasanov regarding the attack by Armenia on the Republic of Azerbaijan:
I have learned about the loss of lives with a great sorrow due to the attack on the Alkhanli village of Fizuli Region of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the armed forces of Armenia with mortars and heavy grenade launchers in the evening hours of 4 July 2017.
I want to emphasize once again that this and similar attacks that are taking place in almost every part of the world are the greatest obstacles on the way of peace and brotherhood. As the Turkic Council, I also want to add that we condemn all forms of terrorism and continue to exert every effort to safeguard peace in the region and the whole world.
I wish God’s mercy for the 50-year-old Azerbaijani woman and her 2-year-old grandchild and extend my condolences to their relatives and the brotherly Azerbaijani people. I also hope for a speedy recovery of another Azerbaijani citizen who was injured by this attack and wish similar events never repeated again.
Turkic Council Secretary General
Ambassador Ramil Hasanov
