Many respondent to a Press TV survey believe that if implemented, reforms promised by Syria' President Bashar al-Assad will normalized the country's situation.

Thirty eight percent of the 18,813 participants said the situation in Syria will be normalized with the reforms that Asssad's government has promised.

A total of 34 percent, however, believe that recent unrest in Syria will plunge the country into civil war.

This is while 13 percent of the respondents agreed said Turkey will engage in military intervention in Syria with Washington's support.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March, with demonstrations being held both against and in favor of President Assad. Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.

While the opposition and Western countries accuse Syrian security forces of being behind the killings, Damascus blames outlaws, saboteurs and armed terrorist groups for the deadly violence, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
