Sergei Galitsky, Armenian businessman to prime minister’s post
An online petition has been launched on Change.org in support of a plan to promote a Moscow-based Armenian billionaire to the post of Russia’s prime minister.
The authors of the initiative have posted their letter on the internet platform, requesting President Vladimir Putin to consider the candidacy of Sergei Galitsky, the founder of the retail chain Magnit.
“Only in case of such a prime minister can Russia realize its Development Plan,” read part of the letter.
The bid, which has already attracted more than 300 online signatures, contains biographic records about the businessman.
