It is a well recognized and legal charitable organisation. It is correct that the coup was referred as a "masonic structure". But this was to describe the resemblence of secret cells or units to ancient, secretive form of freemason lodges. There was not any suggestion of a tie between the coup leaders and Turkish Freemasonary. <br /><br />Under the Turkish Social Organisations Law, membership and functions are transparent and liable to audit by the state. <br /><br />As a tradition, a brother is free to declare that he is a freemason, but cannot reveal any other brother without his consent until he moves to Grand Lodge above. <br /><br />Finally and most importantly, Turkish Freemasons cannot deviate from democracy in any way. <br /><br />S+F<br />Ihsan Goren <br />Mandate L. gorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937766738392802821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-56979843199058308002016-08-05T06:03:45.556-04:002016-08-05T06:03:45.556-04:00Such are old ruse.

Hopefully, Freemasons would be able to weather this falsehood too.Gorakh Behlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09605613648978093348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25683662.post-72544915551488548122016-08-05T05:21:30.644-04:002016-08-05T05:21:30.644-04:00There is little that is honourable in Mr Erdogan a...There is little that is honourable in Mr Erdogan and yet I have Turkish friends here in Australia who regard him highly. My concern is for the blood shed yet to come from his hands. As to anonymous letters, I received a purely evil one myself last yeare. From a bro in my lodge - too easily to work out who he is but how to prove it?Ange Kenoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788607842339923779noreply@blogger.com
