We are very far from a political solution: UAE
The four boycotting countries have each and every right to protect themselves
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
No quick end is likely to the row between the four Arab states and Qatar if the comments by the UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Dr Anwar Gargash, are any indication.
"We are headed for a long estrangement. We are very far from a political solution involving a change in Qatar's course, and in light of that, nothing will change and we have to look for a different format of relations," Dr Anwar Gargash tweeted on Friday.
Defending the Gulf Arab states' action, the UAE minister said in another tweet: "The four boycotting countries have each and every right to protect themselves, shut down their borders and safeguard their stability. The measures they had taken, in this context, will continue and will be boosted."
Indicating that the UAE and other Arab states are in no mood to relent, the UAE minister said: "We are moving towards a boycott, which will prolong on the basis of the evidences before us. As Qatar cries over political sovereignty, the four states are also exercising their sovereignty."

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.
