[RCM 17.04.2008]
Russian president Vladimir Putin arrived yesterday evening to Tripoli within the framework of an official visit in the Great Jamahiriya in response to the invitation of the brother-comrade, Colonel Muammar Al Qathafi, international leader of the revolution.

This visit intervenes shortly after the celebration in Libya of the 22nd birthday of the 1986 American fiasco when with spinelessness, American imperialist forces supported by their Western allies within NATO, bombarded Tripoli and Benghazi cities killing many innocent citizens.

The leader of the revolution did not hesitate to welcome his host in front of this residence, which illustrates American cruelty and testifies the failure of the attempt of his assassination and that of his family during that period

It should also be recalled that Russian president Vladimir Putin who is making the first visit of this type for a Russian president since 1985, is also accompanied by a strong delegation of which, Alexeï Koudrine, Deputy Prime Minister and Russian Minister for Finances, and Anatoli Issaïkine, chairman from an important firm in Russia.

It should be noted that Libya was an important partner of the old USSR and that the relations between the two countries cooled after the bursting of the Soviet block.
