Anti-Armenian billboard in Philadelphia taken down

The Philadelphia community succeeded in the removal of an Azerbaijani billboard spreading misinformation, reports the Armenian National Committee of Pennsylvania.

Lamar Advertising, the company that owns the billboard space, confirmed the ad was removed.

The ad was purchased by MUSIAD USA, a Turkish organization.

The positive outcome is a testament to the Armenian community in Philadelphia and its ability to stand united against acts of hate and any attempts at distorting history. Armenia has and will always want peace.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
