Turkey warns against travel to Iraqi Kurdish region
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Ankara - Muslimchronicle
Turkish Foreign Ministry on Wednesday issued a travel warning for the Iraqi Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) provinces of Erbil, Dohuk and Sulaymaniyah.
The independent referendum held on Monday increased possible security risks in the region, and Turkish citizens should leave there as soon as possible if they are not obliged to stay, said the ministry in a written statement.
Earlier Wednesday, the Turkey's consulate in Erbil, Iraq has announced that flights between Turkey and northern Iraq would be suspended from Friday.
The moves came amid rising tensions between Baghdad and the Kurdish region over the controversial independence referendum in the KRG-controlled areas in northern Iraq.
Turkish government has voiced strong opposition to the referendum, while warning of taking "large-scale sanction" against the KRG if it seeks independence.

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.
