Moscow Parliamentary Center to move into new building
BEIJING. May 27 (Interfax) - The Moscow Parliamentary Center is expected to be relocated to a new building which is expected to be erected quickly.
"We hope a new building will be erected for the Parliamentary Center," State Duma Speaker Sergei Naryshkin told reporters on Monday while visiting the Great Chinese Wall.
A Russian parliamentary delegation, led by Naryshkin, is visiting Beijing.
The lawmakers hope that the construction will begin soon, he said.
Asked by Interfax how long the construction will last, Naryshkin said, two years is quite a feasible timeframe.
Kremlin property manager Vladimir Kozhin told the media on Thursday that a construction site has been selected already.
Plans to build a new parliamentary center have been discussed for several years now.
Naryshkin said last week that it must be located in central Moscow not in the newly attached territories.
It could be built where a stadium is located on Krasnaya Presnya, near the Poklonnaya Gora memorial, or in the place where Hotel Rossiya once stood.
