Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev has sent a heartfelt letter of condolences to Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church, following the passing of Pope Francis.
In his message, President Aliyev expressed deep sorrow over the death of the pontiff, describing Pope Francis as a leader who had a profound impact on the Catholic Church and the world at large. Aliyev commended the Pope's efforts to promote peace, compassion, and dialogue, noting his commitment to social justice and humanitarian causes.
The President also conveyed his sympathy to the Vatican and the Catholic community around the world during this moment of loss. Pope Francis, who served as the first Latin American leader of the Roman Catholic Church, passed away at the age of 88 after a period of declining health. His death marks the end of a transformative and often challenging papacy that sought to bring the Church into greater alignment with the modern world.
