Ahmadinejad in historic Egypt visit

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad yesterday arrived in Egypt on the first trip by an Iranian head of state since the 1979 revolution, underlining the thaw in relations since Egyptians elected an Islamist head of state.
Such a visit would have been unthinkable during the rule of Hosni Mubarak.
Analysts doubt that the historic changes that brought Mursi to power in Egypt will result in a full restoration of diplomatic ties between states whose relations were broken off after the Iranian revolution and the conclusion of Egypt's peace treaty with Israel in 1979.
