The Turkish Industrialists' and Businessmen's Association (TUSIAD) in its report titled "Rising Democratic Standards in Turkey: Discussions and Latest Developments" included points about "implementing capital punishment only during war and similar situations." "We must remember that life imprisonment is not a lighter punishment than capital punishment. But the implementation of punishment must not be prevented by populist behaviour and amnesty laws," the report said.
