committee; and Comrade Anwar, head
of the Committee’s Palestine section.
During the discussions, the Soviet
comrades noted the important role being
played by the PFLP in safeguarding the
PLO’s unity and nationalist line. They
reaffirmed their support to the PLO, and
at the same time expressed sorrow at
the internal difficulties that the PLO is
currently facing. They stressed the
necessity of the Palestinian ‘people
adhering to the unity of the PLO, based
on an_e anti-imperialist, amti-Zionist,
national political line.
Concerning the international situa-
tion, the Soviet comrades confirmed that
the goal of the Soviet Union is to prevent
a nuclear war. They explained that the
USSR is currently trying to bring peace
to many areas of the world where ten-
sion now prevails, including the Middle
East.
Comrade Abu Ali Mustafa thanked
the Soviet comrades for their principled
and firm support for the Palestinian and
Arab peoples. He added that interna-
tional support is an essential support in
the struggle of the Palestinian people
and the Arab masses against Zionist
occupation and imperialist aggression
and their joint plans for the area.
Comrade Abu Ali explained in detail
the dangers which the PLO is currently
facing. He clarified the internal struggle
which is going on in the PLO between
two lines: the rightist line which has no
confidence in the future of the Palesti-
nian people’s struggle; and_ the
nationalist line which is determined to
continue the struggle until the goals of
the Palestinian people are achieved. He
added that the nationalist line has
proven to be correct in view of the recent
victories in Lebanon. Comrade Abu Ali
also explained the steps that are being
taken to preserve the unity of the PLO.
He reaffirmed the PFLP’s position that
differences within the PLO should be
overcome through democratic dialogue
and not by resorting to arms.
In the discussions with the CPSU
Central Committee, the Soviet particip-
ants included Comrade Elianovisky,
Vice-Chairman of the international
department for Asia and Africa; Com-
rade Drogen and Comrade Matuzov.
Comrade _ Elianovisky expressed
appreciation of the role that the PFLP is
playing in the Palestinian arena. He
stressed the importance of combatting
the conspiracies currently faced by the
PLO. He recognized the importance of
the Aden initiative as a positive step
towards solving the crisis in the PLO.
Comrade Abu Ali Mustafa reiter-
ated the PFLP position on these ques-
tions. He thanked the Soviet comrades
for their hospitality and for their support
to the Palestinian people. He declared
that the viewpoints of the two parties are
in agreement, as confirmed by the dis-
cussions.
