Turkey-Iran gas pipeline blown up in Agri province
Turkey-Iran gas pipeline
Ankara - Anadolu
The Turkey-Iran natural gas pipeline has been blown up in eastern Turkey’s Agri province, Turkish Energy and Natural Resources Minister Taner Yildiz said late Monday.
According to a statement released by the Turkish Energy Ministry, Yildiz said that the suspected sabotage attack took place 15 kilometers inside the country's eastern border with Iran.
"The explosion caused a fire breakout; however in a short time we managed to extinguish it. After repairing it, the gas flow will resume," he said.
"We have taken measures to meet the natural gas demand in the area. Turkish citizens and industrialists should be at ease," he added.
Tehran increased gas deliveries to Turkey by one billion cubic meters of gas per year during 2014. Iran, Russia and Azerbaijan export about 10 billion cubic meters per year, 27 billion cubic meters and 6.6 billion cubic meters of gas per year to Turkey respectively.
The statement added that the power line between Cizre and Silopi districts of southeastern Sirnak province had been attacked on July 24.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
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" opened 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. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led his
