/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Representatives of Grand Orient de France arrived
in Armenia to attend events in commemoration of the Armenian Genocide
in the Ottoman Empire in 1915.

"We condemn indifference and silence over the Genocide. People must
understand that committing a crime against others, they commit a
crime against themselves. We want people to know about the Genocide
and condemn the crime committed 93 years ago," said A.

Abbe.

The Lodge members said they cooperate with their counterparts in Turkey
and although no progress has been fixed in so far, their struggle is
not over.

The Grand Orient de France is an organization which is motivated by
two great principles which are apparently contradictory: the respect
for a tradition inherited from the founders of freemasonry and the
search for progress for the improvement of Men and Society.
