The letter of condolence reads:
"I was deeply shocked by the death of my sincere friend, dear and precious person Marianna. Nothing compares to the pain caused by the loss of a loved person.
It is difficult to find words expressing the feeling of sorrow, which fills our hearts.
Renowned public figure, faithful life partner, staunch friend Marianna was a symbol of kindness, generousness, graciousness, mercifulness.
She will live on in memories as a bright, hardworking, active, irreplaceable personality who was able to feel people’s pain deep inside.
Marianna Vardinoyannis was also a sincere friend of Azerbaijan. It is not a coincidence that the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan highly appreciated her contribution to development of friendly relations between Azerbaijani and Greek peoples by conferring a “Dostlug” (Friendship) order upon her.
Loving, kind and unforgettable memories created by our meetings with Marianna will always remain in my heart.
I share your grief, extend condolences and wish patience to all your family members.
Sincerely yours,
Mehriban Aliyeva".
