The settlement process started with Al Tal city amid local bewilderment as Damascus has already struck a deal for controlling the area.
On Tuesday, state news agency SANA reported that the settlement process started in Al Tal and its suburbs in the Damascus Countryside, within the framework of the settlement agreement proposed by the state.
