Erdogan Rejoins Ruling AK Party
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Ankara - Emirates Voice
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan rejoined the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party after signing his membership declaration during a special ceremony in the capital Ankara on Tuesday.
Erdogan signed a membership form, confirming his re-admittance to the party which he left when he was directly elected Turkey's president in 2014, Turkey's Anadolu Agency (AA) reported.
Speaking at the ceremony at AK Party headquarters, President Erdogan said: "Today, I return to the party that I founded, my home, my passion, my love, which I had to leave according to our Constitution on August 27, 2014, when I was elected president".
In his speech at the ceremony, Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said Erdogan will be nominated chairman of AK Party during an extraordinary congress that will be held on May 21.
Launched in 2001, Erdogan led the AK Party for 13 years but had to step aside when he became president in August 2014. An April 16 referendum changed the Constitution to allow the president to be a member of a political party.

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. 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.
