Tehran negotiates with Riyadh regarding next pilgrimage season
Muslims on the hajj pilgrimage
Tehran - Mehdi Moussaoui
The Iranian Haj and Visit Organization announced that negotiations are ongoing with the Saudi side regarding the participation of Iranian pilgrims in the next pilgrimage season.
The organization explained, in a statement, that several meetings were held in the last few days to discuss various dimensions of the issue of the pilgrimage next year, but because of the complexity of this issue, the negotiations are continuing.
The Iranian negotiating delegation had left Tehran, last Wednesday, heading to the Saudi city of Jeddah at the invitation of Riyadh to negotiate regarding the participation of Iranian pilgrims in the next pilgrimage season.
For the first time since three decades, the Iranian delegation did not participate in last year's pilgrimage, following a diplomatic rupture between Tehran and Riyadh after Iranian protesters attacked the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and its Consulate to protest the execution of Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr by the kingdom authorities.

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.

Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
