Certain information sources of "Azg" daily told us that representatives
of a rather influential Mason lodge are coming to Armenia in order
to establish here a structure of theirs. Guy Skobian, representative
of the Mason delegation, in an interview to "Azg" correspondent
represented the rest of the delegation coming to Armenia. It consists
of Claude Geidan, Second Grandmaster of the "Great East" lodge,
Third Grandmaster George Serin, Responsible for Justice Andre Abbe,
Grand Secretary for Foreign Relations Aveline Vallaine, as well as
Councilors Pierre Chaume, Guy Akobian and Marcel Veile.

The delegation is to arrive in Yerevan on April 23.

According to Akobian, the visit is aimed at the development of
relations between the Armenian and French Masons. Guy Akobian refused
to say who shall be receiving the delegation in the airport and who
shall be involved in the process of enhancement of relations. Instead
he said that a number of French Armenian Masons from Paris, Marseilles
and Nice are coming with the delegations who are to visit their
relatives in their homeland.

Akobian said that the "Great East" Lodge is striving for "freedom,
brotherhood and secularity". He also explained that the lodge is not
working secretly, therefore there is no conspiracy in the delegation’s
visit to Armenia.
