Tempers have somewhat calmed in the last two weeks but may flare up again during and after the 25 May polls.
Armenia's 131-member Azgayin Zhoghov, or National Assembly, is far less powerful than the president, who can appoint and sack the government and dissolve the legislature practically at will.
Nonetheless, the parliament has the authority to unseat ruling cabinets by a vote of no-confidence and initiate impeachment proceedings against the head of state -- hence, Kocharian's strong desire to prevent it from falling under opposition control.

Just hours after the polls closed May 25, the Justice bloc, which refuses to recognize Kocharian’s legitimacy, had predicted that it would win at least 44 parliament seats and claimed a "convincing victory." As things stand now, the Justice bloc may secure 17 seats at most.
Local observers therefore expect the opposition alliance, which most opinion polls had put in the lead during the election campaign, to boycott sessions of Armenia’s new Azgayin Zhoghov (National Assembly.)
As was the case during the presidential election, Armenia’s CEC stands at the center of controversy.
