Damascus: Syria’s revolutionary flag was raised over the country’s embassy in the Russian capital Moscow, state media said on Monday, a day after the fall of the decades-old Assad regime.
“Today, the (Syrian) embassy opened and operates as usual under a new flag,” a source in the country’s diplomatic mission told Russian state news agency Tass.
The report comes a day after Tass said that the flag of the deposed Baath regime was removed from the embassy building, as well as the diplomatic mission’s nameplate.
The Syrian Embassy in Moscow told Tass that it is awaiting instructions from representatives of the country’s new leadership.
