The People's Party of Armenia (PPA) considers the abolition of capital punishment premature in a country where top-ranking officials recently fell victim to terror.
A PPA statement said terrorism is a blow on the foundations of statehood in Armenia, and the abolition of capital punishment after the tragic events in the Armenian Parliament on October 27, 1999, may set a dangerous precedent for others planning to seize power by terror.
