Rumor that the Mongolian Embassy building in Moscow has been sold

A rumor that the Mongolian Embassy in Moscow might have been sold has started just days after names of the new ambassadors from Mongolia to other countries have been approved by parliament according to local newspaper “Mongolian News”. The newspaper sited that the 10 story building II of the Mongolian Embassy in Moscow might have been sold to the Chechens.

Previously Mongolian students who study in Russia came to the Embassy building to see each other and have Mongolian food. But an unconfirmed source said that the former Ambassador L.Khangai sold the Embassy building during his term from 2005 to 2009.

Former ambassador, diplomats and their families used to stay at the Embassy building II. But now diplomat officials and their families should have to make a long drive to their work place in Moscow from their residence outside of the city. Mongolian Embassy building II is located in the center of Moscow near to the US Embassy. Mongolia used to own the whole building but now the Mongolian Consulate occupies only a few offices in the building.
