Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted he had received the news of the helicopter crash in the Islamic Republic of Iran with deep sorrow. As a result of that tragic disaster, the leader of the neighboring country, his dear brother Seyed Ebrahim Raisi had died, the Head of the People’s Council of Turkmenistan continued. Being a prominent political figure and statesman, Seyed Raisi did much for the prosperous and happy life of his people and made a significant personal contribution to the further strengthening of the Turkmen-Iranian friendly relations.
Saying that with his untimely death, Iran had lost a devoted son who had served his Motherland, and Turkmenistan – a true friend, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov noted with regret that high-ranking officials had also died in the helicopter along with Seyed Raisi. The Turkmen people say, “On the Day of Judgment, a neighbor is a help.” That is why Turkmenistan, being a close neighbor, shares the grief of the Iranian people at this difficult moment.
Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov wished spiritual strength to the Iranian people.
