We congratulate you on your election as President of the Republic of Azerbaijan!

On this occasion, we congratulate all the people of Azerbaijan, a country which, thanks to you and, of course, your father Heydar Aliyev, has become one of the largest and most prosperous world powers.

Throughout history our countries have shared true friendship, warm and cordial relations, and we are confident that they will last forever. Azerbaijan is one of the most beautiful countries where one wants to come again and again, and it is great that traditions and art are preserved and flourish there as nowhere else.

We wish you every success for the benefit of all your citizens, longevity and happiness to you and your family.

We will be happy if you, dear Ilham Heydar oglu, during one of your visits to Moscow, honor us by visiting the Opera Center.

Dear Ilham Heydar oglu,

Please accept my sincere and heartfelt congratulations on your reelection to the post of President of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The European Parliament and PACE have already recognized the elections in Azerbaijan as being democratic, transparent and consistent with international standards. This electoral campaign was held in Azerbaijan in a very quiet, constructive and transparent atmosphere, and I see your personal contribution to that as an incumbent President.

Especially encouraging are the results of your election victory. Such an unprecedented advantage over other candidates for presidency, 85 per cent of the vote, represents an almost unanimous vote of confidence for you by the people of Azerbaijan!

The people of Azerbaijan have chosen a path of stability and development for their country.

Tremendous progress has been made by the republic in the past decade of your presidency.

The dynamic changes taking place in all sectors of the economy have significantly improved the well-being of the population. New jobs are being created. The levels of poverty and unemployment have dropped many times. Azerbaijan has become a generally accepted economic and political leader of the Caucasus region. Your country is reckoned with by leading world powers.

I see your contribution and merits in all these achievements of modern Azerbaijan. You are a worthy son of your father, respected Heydar Aliyev. You are a worthy successor of his great work. Today you are a recognized leader of the Azerbaijani nation capable of leading the country to new heights of progress and future prosperity.

Dear Ilham Heydar oglu, I would like to once again congratulate you and the people of fraternal
Azerbaijan on this wonderful victory! Please convey my congratulations to your wife Mehriban Arif gizi.

I wish you luck, good health, strength and energy for a successful implementation of your national development agenda.

With best regards,

Timur Kulibayev
Chairman of the KAZENERGY Association

Mr. President,

Congratulations on your reelection and congratulations to the people of Azerbaijan for another milestone in strengthening the civil institutions. Nationwide elections offer a choice to voters and represent an important part of democratic process. As an American, I greatly appreciate Azerbaijan`s vital contributions to the United States-led operations in Afghanistan, Iraq and Kosovo. This is merely one example of our common efforts. We look forward to continued partnership with Azerbaijan.

Mr. President, as a friend of Azerbaijan I wish you and the Azerbaijani people success as you lead your nation forward.

Dear Mr. President,

Allow me to wish You every success as You lead Your nation forward in your third term as Azerbaijan`s President.

As you embark on Your third term as president, I have immense hope that Your victory marks a commitment to the continued expansion of personal, political, and economic freedoms of all Azerbaijanis.

Since establishing diplomatic relations with Azerbaijan in 1997, all facets of the US-Azerbaijan bilateral relationship – cultural, economic, and strategic – have deepened our ties and expanded opportunities for both our peoples. Your re-election offers an opportunity for the US and Azerbaijan to continue to build on a critical bilateral relationship, strengthening mutual cooperation in the areas of human rights support, the development of democratic institutions and processes, economic growth, counterterrorism, and regional security.

As a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Congressional Azerbaijan Caucus,
I look forward to working with You and Your government to further enhance the US-Azerbaijan relationship.

Sincerely,

Luke Messer,
Member of the US Congress

I would like, following our telephone conversation, to warmly congratulate you, once again, on your victory at the recent Presidential elections.

I once again reiterate that the recent decision of the Shah Deniz Consortium on the selection of the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) Project constitutes a vital step towards building a strategic partnership between our two countries.
