Armenia in negotiations with southern neighbor Iran
Prime Minister of Armenia
Yerevan - Arab Today
Armenia is currently in negotiations with southern neighbor Iran over plans to establish a free economic zone in Meghri, a town in the country's southern region bordering Iran, Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan announced on Friday in Syunik.
"For year 2017, we have prepared an investment package of 830 million U.S. dollars," the prime minister announced. "55 million of these funds will be invested in Syunik's mining, agricultural and other industries," he added.
Prime Minister Karapetyan said that an exporting company would be founded jointly with the Iranian side, which would be purchasing products from the Armenian market and sell them in Iran.
Karapetyan's announcement came following the establishment of an Iranian halal meat certification office in Armenia. This is expected to create more incentives for the exports of Armenian meat products to Iran.

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.

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.
