STORYLINE
Turkey''s prime minister flew to Tripoli on Friday, a day after the visit by British and French leaders in a show of international support for Libya''s new rulers.
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan travelled to Libya as part of a tour of the Arab world that is aimed at offering help for the countries and advancing his growing status as a regional leader.
He is expected to discuss how to resume investments in Libya, where Turkish contractors were involved in 214 building projects worth more than 15 (b) billion US dollars before the rebellion that ousted strongman Moammar Gadhafi.
Erdogan flew into Tripoli''s Mitiga airport and was greeted by a crowd of cheering supporters, before travelling on to the Rixos Hotel for talks with National Transitional Council (NTC) officials - the body of former rebels now widely recognised as the new leadership in Libya.
He is expected to appear on the Martyrs'' Square, which was renamed from the Gadhafi-era Green Square, in Tripoli later on Friday before travelling to Misrata and Benghazi.
The international community have been rallying around the interim government''s efforts to establish legitimacy and start rebuilding the country despite continued fighting against loyalists of Gadhafi, who remains on the run.
Revolutionary forces are currently battling to take control of three major Gadhafi strongholds; Bani Walid, Sirte and Sabha, but are being met with fierce resistance.
