MOSCOW. Oct 20 (Interfax-AVN) - The Yamal landing ship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet has completed an unofficial visit to the Greek port of Corfu and arrived in the port of Pylos.
"The main goal of the Russian ship's visit to Pylos is to take part in solemn events dedicated to the 181st anniversary of the Battle of Navarino, in which joint squadrons of Russian, English and French ships defeated the Turkish-Egyptian fleet. This event had a decisive influence on the national liberation struggle of the Greek people for independence," the Black Sea Fleet's information and public affairs department said in a statement on Monday.
