Emin Agalarov, son of the owner of Crocus Group, said in a conversation with RT that the decision to restore Crocus cannot be made independently. “I know one thing - it was our house, which bore the name of a close friend of our family, Muslim Magomayev, a house into which terrorists broke into and brought so much grief to our guests, spectators, destroyed lives, destroyed memories,” he said.
Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov said that the restoration is a matter for the public, not the owner.
