The letter of congratulation reads:
“Dear Mr. President!
Congratulations on your fiftieth birthday. I appreciated your letter on the occasion of my fiftieth birthday last August. This is indeed an important anniversary, and I hope that you are able to celebrate it together with family and good friends as I did.
Our two countries have a strong relationship based on shared interests and mutual respect, and I am firmly committed to strengthening this vital partnership. We will continue to cooperate closely on a wide range of challenges, including our countries’ efforts to diversify energy supplied to Europe, advance democratic and economic reform, and enhance regional security, particularly in achieving a lasting, peaceful resolution to the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Please accept my congratulations for your birthday and my very best wishes to you and your family for the New Yearâ€.
