Ask AI: freemasonry and Armenia 1915

The relationship between Freemasonry and Armenia in 1915 is complex. Prior to 1915, Freemasons in the Ottoman Empire had a long history of aiding Armenians when possible. Freemasons provided relief to Armenian refugees, helped to organize and fund educational and health programs, and even provided legal aid to Armenians when possible. During the Armenian genocide of 1915, Freemasons were active in advocating on behalf of Armenians both in the Ottoman Empire and abroad. They worked to publicize the atrocities, raised money for relief, and wrote to government leaders to explain the situation and push for action. Following the genocide, Freemasons continued to provide aid to Armenians and support efforts to commemorate them and keep their memory alive.
