Armenian Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan wants the death penalty for those found guilty of state treason and has written to the country’s Constitutional Reforms Council to propose changes to the constitution.

Armenia’s Constitution now bans the death penalty.

Davtyan argues that revelations of treason during the 2020 Artsakh war call for the death penalty in certain cases.

Davtyan says that Armenia is under no international obligation banning the death penalty.
