    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. www.peaceofart.org 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."
