"Congressman Moody and a number of his colleagues have demonstrated a constant concern for Father Yergatian and those who share his fate." He continued: "The Armenian Assembly is grateful to the many organ- izations,individuals, and even the governments of such contries as Sweden, Norway, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands who have spoken on behalf of all prisoners of conscience in Turkey. Several Armenian organizations have taken special interest in this issue and have worked toward Father Yergatian's release from prison. Particularly we thank Amnesty International for adopting Father Yergatian as a prisoner of conscience."
