Iran
Tehran - Xinhua
Iran will soon sign a contract with the European plane-maker ATR to purchase passenger planes, Press TV reported quoting an Iranian official as saying on Sunday.
"Representatives of ATR will come to Tehran on Wednesday to have a final round of talks," said Iran's Deputy Minister of Roads and Urban Development Asghar Fakhrieh-Kashan.
Both sides will review the final draft of the contract, and if there is no problem, it will be signed, Fakhrieh-Kashan said.
Reports said that the contract encompasses 20 planes valued at 400 million U.S. dollars.
According to press TV, Iran's national flag carrier, Iran Air, signed a preliminary contract with ATR in February to buy the twin-engine turboprop ATR 72-600 aircraft, each capable of carrying 70 passengers.
Iran earlier signed contracts with Airbus and Boeing plane-makers to purchase around 180 passenger planes.

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.
