DAMASCUS, April 8 (Xinhua) -- Negotiations between the Islam Army militants and the Syrian government will soon start on Sunday about the situation in Douma district east of Damascus, state TV reported.

The government side will start the negotiation about the situation in Douma within two hours on Sunday.
