FOXBORO, Mass.-Yes We Can Recognize the Armenian Genocide" is
the message on the 2010 Armenian Genocide Commemorative Billboard
sponsored by Peace of Art Inc. now on digital
display in Foxboro.

The billboard, owned by Carroll Advertising, is located ¼ mile south of
the main entrance to Gillette Stadium and Patriot Place. It is highly
visible and strategically located at a long 4-way traffic signal on
Route 1, between I-95 and I-495. The message reaches fans of the New
England Patriots, New England Revolution, and patrons of Concerts,
Trade Shows and Patriot Place.

YES WE CAN was the slogan of the 2008 U.S. presidential campaign,
which was shared with the rest of the world. It promised that changes
were on the way, and for the American Armenians was a message of hope
for the recognition of the Armenian genocide by our government.

The Armenian Genocide Commemorative Billboards "has given me the
opportunity not only to proclaim the reality of the genocide of
the Armenian people, as an undeniable historical event, that must
be recognized, but also to champion the universal ideas of peace,
liberty and justice," said Daniel Varoujan Hejinian, the president of
Peace of Art, Inc., who, since 1996 has been sponsoring the Armenian
Genocide Commemorative Billboards in Watertown, Mass. This year,
Peace of Art, Inc., is taking this message to other communities.

The collection of billboards will be on display at the Armenian
Library and Museum of America, in Watertown from March 28 to May 2
as part of Varoujan’s art exhibit "A Journey Through the Years."
