YEREVAN.- Armenian presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian dismissed
suspicion of having any links to the Freemasonry lodges.
`My father Richard Hovannisian and me have never had any links to
Freemasons. We neither have been members of any organization,' he told
reporters on Friday, adding that he sees nothing wrong in having links
to Freemasonry lodge.
Commenting on fellow candidate Vardan Sedrakyan's statements,
Hovannisian said every person has a right to have a personal opinion
but he must be accountable for label and lies.
Raffi Hovannisian has no intention to file a lawsuit, unless he is
accused of violence (probably supposing the attack on Paruyr Hayrikyan
- ed.).
As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, Sedrakyan accused
Hovannisian of masterminding the recent assassination attempt against
Hayrikyan. During a press conference on Thursday, Sedrakyan noted that
he has reasonable grounds to believe that the assassination attempt
was organized by a Freemasonry organization that conducts activities
in Western Europe and the US. As per Sedrakyan, Raffi Hovannisian and
his father, American-Armenian historian Richard Hovannisian, are
members of these Freemasonry lodges. Furthermore, Sedrakyan noted that
he knew for a long time that something is being orchestrated against
him.
