Nearly 10 percent of those surveyed (1,250 people) said attacks against Syria have recently intensified because the Syrian government does not represent its people.

Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 and many people, including large numbers of security forces, have been killed in the turmoil.

Damascus also says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country and the security forces have been given clear instructions not to harm civilians.
