Embassy of Russia in Damascus

Hi Zozo2kx, thanks firstly for your Arabic translations in a couple of the Russia-Syria related articles. In relation to Embassy of Russia in Damascus, I am trying to source information on the chancery (this being the building in which the embassy is located). As I don't speak Arabic, and it is likely that notable information on the building, such as built when, architect, history of building, etc, would be in Arabic, would you be so kind as to do a search for information for me on this, and either add it to the article, or post links etc and I can possibly use Google translate for the Arabic-English and garnish information that way. Also, are you in Damascus yourself? If so, do you or someone you know may be in the position to take a photo of the chancery for use in the article?

I will try to find some stuff about it, right now I am traveling though. I am not based in Damascus, but I will be there next month, and will take a photo of the building. Yazan (talk) 05:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
