Turkey election: OSCE says 'serious concerns' over vote - BBC News
The OSCE said that an increase in violence, particularly in the south-east, "restricted some contestants' ability to campaign freely".
It also criticised curbs on media freedom.
Earlier Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called on the world to respect the result of Sunday's election.
Meanwhile, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) went further and denounced the entire process as "unfair".
In a statement on Monday, Ignacio Sanchez Amor, head of the OSCE observer mission, said: "Physical attacks on party members, as well as the significant security concerns, particularly in the south-east" had affected campaigning.
He added that pressure on journalists - including a police raid on the Koza-Ipek media group in Istanbul last week - was a major concern.
"Unfortunately, the campaign for these elections was characterized by unfairness and, to a serious degree, fear," said Andreas Gross, Head of the PACE delegation.
Responding to reports of pressure on journalists, the White House spokesman John Earnest said the US had urged Turkey "to uphold universal democratic values."
