YEREVAN. - French Masonic Lodge has 15-20 members in Armenia, said the Great Master Guy Arsize to a press conference in Yerevan.

He stressed that the lodge counts 50 thousand members but the overall number of masons reaches 500 thousand worldwide. Contrary to Armenia, masons of France do not tend to hide their personality and are essentially involved in socially directed activities.

According to the Great Master, Armenian masons do not want to declassify their personality, because they have not had the time to form a lodge in the country and his visit is aimed precisely at supporting the Armenian brothers in this matter.

As evidence that French Masons are acting publicly, the Master stressed that Armenian president was informed about his visit and welcomed it.

According Arsize, his visit has particularly pleased Masons of the Diaspora who are interested in establishing a lodge in Armenia.
