The BBC reported a turnout of over 60%.[3] The Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe judged the elections to have "demonstrated improvement" over previous parliamentary elections, but said "the stated intention by the Armenian authorities to conduct an election in line with OSCE commitments and international standards was not fully realized." [4]
Critics and opposition politicians had announced their fears that the polls would not be democratic, despite officials' reassurements that the changes to the voting laws will ensure a more democratic election than the greatly criticised 2003 one.[5]
