Grand Orient de France calls for recognition of Armenian GenocideApril 24, 2008 - 19:44 AMT 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.
