Bishop Daniel Findikyan: My brothers are in prison

ArmInfo.  Based on the statements made during the "Prayer Breakfast," it can be conclude that the event  did not proceed as planned by the authorities.

Specifically, in a post on the Christian Solidarity International  microblog on X,  Bishop Daniel Findikyan reported that at the event,  he raised the issue of Armenian priests in prison. He called for  their release, naming Archbishops Bagrat Galstanyan, Mikael  Ajapahyan, and Bishop Mkrtich Proshyan. "My brothers are in prison.  All imprisoned by the Armenian government," the bishop said.

 In turn, Joel Veldlkamp, a representative of Christian Solidarity  International, urged the country's authorities in a video message to  allow them to visit the arrested priests. He said he had arrived in  Yerevan to participate in a national prayer breakfast and emphasized  that, according to human rights groups, several priests and their  supporters had been imprisoned. "Just today, three bloggers were  arrested. We are glad to be here, but we have several questions," he  said.
