Arriving at the Iranian Embassy, the Chairman of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan spoke with Ambassador Ali Mojtaba Ruzbekhani.

As a symbol of the unshakable Turkmen-Iranian relations of friendship and fraternity, the Hero-Arkadag made an entry in the Book of Condolences, expressing words of sympathy and support in difficult times for the two neighboring peoples.
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.
