The head of Dagestan Ramazan Abdulatipov said today on the radio station ‘Moscow Speaking’ that he will resign.
"I will submit my resignation, most probably today. The reasons for the resignation is my age - I'm 71 years old. The republic is on the rise, it has been taken out of the gravest crisis," he explained.
"I will be mostly engaged in scientific activities, public activities, education and culture. There are a lot of projects," the head of Dagestan admitted.
Ramazan Abdulatipov drew attention to the fact that he proposed several figures for the post of head of Dagestan. "I think it's generally good to resign on the rise. I proposed some candidates. I think that it will not be a problem. I named a whole series of candidates. The decision is made by the president. My only request was that Dagestan be handed over to decent people," he concluded.
