"Syria and the Arab League are in agreement over the final paper concerning the situation in Syria and the official announcement will be made at Arab League headquarters tomorrow," Tuesday`s report said.
The announcement flashed on Syrian state television and carried by the official SANA news agency came as Arab League officials said they expected Damascus to give its answer to a plan to end the violence on Tuesday.
On Sunday, an Arab task force headed by Qatar met Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Muallem and submitted a proposal calling on President Bashar al-Assad to pull tanks off the streets and begin talks with his opponents.
Syria was due to give its response to the plan on Monday but Muallem asked for some changes and a reply was expected later Tuesday.
An Arab League diplomat told AFP in Cairo "there has been agreement on some minor amendments, but the Arab delegation demanded a final response on Tuesday to the Arab proposal."
And Syria`s Arab League representative Yusef Ahmed told AFP his government would respond to the plan on Tuesday and added: "We are dealing positively with the last proposal, which was drafted (at Sunday`s meeting) in Qatar." (*)
