Minister of Antimonopoly Regulation and Trade Artur Karpovich is the father of a sixth-grader. The boy's school wardrobe had already been updated. But when the minister was with journalists at GUM, he decided to buy his son a few more things.
«I always recommend contacting the seller. No one knows better than them what is here. You set a task — and in three minutes they bring you what you were looking for,» — says Karpovich to sb.by.
As a result, the minister bought his son a dark blue suit, Velcro shoes, a white button-up shirt, a fashionable bow tie, and an orthopedic backpack. Everything Belarusian.
