Myanmar's parliament, led for the first time by pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi's party, began a historic session Feb. 1 that will install the country's first democratically elected government in more than 50 years.

For years suppressed by the military, the National League for Democracy won a landslide victory in Nov. 8 elections, taking about 80 percent of the seats at stake in the two houses of parliament. (AP)
