I think Mr. Raffi Hovanissian could be more honest than other politician and he gained invluable experiecnce in Armenian politics as being first former Foreign Minister after Armenia become independent. You talk electoral falsification and media also play its role to dirty the honest public figure(s) such as Raffi Hovannissian. However, in new democracy as Armenia (and all democracies even advanced countries not immune from calomnie, corruption, vote manipulation of certain degree, electoral map change such as in U.S. (Texas...) in order to bring advantage to a particular political party....) it may seem that they are playing politics , sometimes politics and law (such as electoral law...) conflict in a manner that politician try to bypass law in order to bring advantage to a particular party and themselves....thus, it is a part of the game and other honest people could always play counterbalancing role...thuse, with time the armenian politics become less corrupt and more democratic....and one whatever, the outcome -if it is relatively hones and margins do not justify to hold another election...- the Armenian public shall stick with their choice of parliament members and President.
