MOSCOW, April 7. /TASS/. Syria’s opposition delegates taking part in the intra-Syrian consultations in Moscow have agreed a common document to be presented at a meeting with the government delegation on April 8, Samir Aita, a member of the Syrian Democratic Forum, told TASS on Tuesday. "There is a common document which includes various elements, including political and humanitarian aspects," he said. "It is a big progress." "Representatives of the opposition have also agreed that they will voice their comments on the document at a meeting with the governmental delegation on April 8," he said. "We expect the meeting with the government to outline a mechanism of the implementation of liabilities undertaken at the previous consultations in January and of possible new liabilities that might be undertaken during this round," Aita added. Fateh Jamous, a member of the Peaceful Change Forces Coalition, said the current round of consultations had been more productive than that in January. "Former experience was taken into account.
