Pro-government parties secured the majority of seats in parliamentary
elections in the Armenian-controlled enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh,
election officials said Monday.
The Democratic Party of Artsakh, which supports the government of
President Arkady Gukasian, received 12 out of 33 seats in legislature,
while another pro-government party, Free Motherland, got 10 seats,
said Election Commission chief Sergei Nasibian.
Nagorno-Karabakh has been under control of ethnic Armenians since a
six-year war against Azerbaijani forces ended with a 1994
cease-fire. The war killed some 30,000 people and drove a million from
their homes.
