0.89 mln refugees comes to Germany in 2015: German Interior Minister
Refugees walk on the platform after arriving by train at the main railway station in Munich.
Berlin - Arab Today
About 890,000 refugees came to Germany last year, rather than the previously calculated 1.1 million, German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere announced Friday.
The 890,000 asylum seekers is "significantly lower" than the calculated number, but "still very high," said de Maiziere.
The minister has repeatedly stressed in recent months, that the previous number is too high for multiple registrations, or because some refugees may have traveled further to another country or back home.
Upon their arrival in Germany, asylum seekers are registered, but the German government stressed last year that the system did not rule out the "wrong or double records."
About 210,000 asylum seekers came to the country this year so far, according to de Maiziere.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
