Yemen's turbulent political parties ought to adopt a code of honor to protect democracy from violence, according to President Ali Abdullah Saleh. 

 

After meeting opposition leaders earlier this week, Saleh called for a code of honor to be drawn up outlining "non-recourse to violence" in the interest of national unity.
