Iraq denies intention to militarily intervene
Islamic State (IS).
Riyadh - Muslimchronicle
Iraqi Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmad Jamal on Sunday denied Baghdad's intention to militarily intervene in Syria to fight the terror group Islamic State (IS).
In an exclusive interview with the Saudi television channel Al Arabiya, Jamal said that the Iraqi Constitution prohibits it from intervening in the affairs of another country.
Jamal made the remarks after Iraq's Ambassador to Iran Rajih Al-Mousawi was quoted by the Iranian News Agency Tasnim as saying that Iraq does not mind in militarily intervening in Syria to fight IS, adding "Iraq has friends like Iran to help it."
But Iraqi officials immediately denied that Iraq would intervene in Syria, while others accused Iran of twisting the envoy's remarks, Al Arabiya reported.
In response to Mousawi's statements, Iraqi Vice President Osama Nujaifi said that they only represented "his own personal opinion."
Iraq just achieved a milestone in defeating IS with its victory in liberating Mosul from IS earlier the week. IS is still holding some remote parts of Iraq and major Syrian cities, such as Raqqa, its de facto capital in Syria.

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
