Moscow believes that no one can be denied the right to participate in the presidential elections in Libya, and the son of former Libyan leader Seif al-Islam and his supporters are an integral part of the political process in the country, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov said.

“We support everyone, from the fact that no one is isolated and excluded from the constructive political process. Therefore, we maintain contacts with all groups present in the country, in the west, east, and south,” said Bogdanov.

"The history of this country is a tribal society, which means that different tribes have a very important place, so I think that Dr. Seif al-Islam and his supporters are tribes living in some parts of the country, and all this needs to be an integral part of the overall political process, with the participation of other political parties in Tobruk, Tripoli, Misrata," Bogdanov said, answering the question of whether Gaddafi's son would turn to Moscow for support and whether he would receive it.

In early December, the coordinator of the political group of Muammar Gaddafi's son, Seif Al-Islam, said he had brought a letter to Moscow and discussed a roadmap for resolving the situation in Libya. According to him, Gaddafi's son's proposals were in line with the efforts of the United Nations.
