Pro-government parties won the vast majority of seats in the May 12 election.


The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe called the vote an improvement over previous Armenian elections, and the European Union said "on the whole" it had been free and fair.


Armenia's opposition, however, accused the government of fraud, including bribing voters outside polling stations.
