Turkey issues detention warrants in Prime Ministry, banks in coup-related probe
Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen
Ankara - Muslimchronicle
Turkey issued detention warrants on Monday for 43 people in the Prime Ministry and several banks over allegedly using the ByLock mobile phone application.
The ByLock is the encrypted messaging application almost exclusively used by followers of the U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gulen, who is blamed by Ankara for orchestrating a failed coup attempt on July 15, 2016.
Six of those who had been issued warrants are currently on duty, while the other 37 were previously dismissed from their position.
Some 20 warrants were issued for employees of banks, including Central Bank and Development Bank.
The move is part of an ongoing investigation into the members of Gulenists in public institutions.
The Turkish government declared a state of emergency and launched a massive crackdown on Gulen's supporters in the aftermath of the coup attempt.

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 hisGMT 15:21 2011 Wednesday ,11 May
