Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has expressed his condolences to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich,

I was deeply shocked by the news of the death of children and adults as a result of a shooting at the school N88 in the city of Izhevsk.

On behalf of the people of Azerbaijan and on my own behalf, I extend my deep condolences to you, families and loved ones of those who died, and wish all the injured a speedy recovery.
