Altai attracts Armenian businessman
Moscow-based businessman of Armenian origin Armen Shahinyan has asked the United Russia (Yedìnaya Rossìya) party to propose his candidacy as deputy in Russia's Altai Krai (region).
Shahinyan was included in the ticket of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia during the previous State Duma elections.
Political analysts hold different opinions on businessman's step and wonder why he chose that remote region for his career.
The election is set for November 20.
