    BILLBOARDS TO URGE OBAMA RECOGNIZE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

    During the month of April, 2012, Peace of Art, Inc., will display the
    commemorative billboards of Armenian Genocide on Mount Auburn and
    Arsenal Streets in Watertown, MA, with the message "Mr. President,
    Don't Turn your Back! Recognize the Armenian Genocide."

    This year, Peace of Art will display a second message on a digital
    billboard in Foxboro, MA, on Route 1 near Gillette Stadium and Patriot
    Place, with the message "Honoring the Memory of 1.5 million Lives.

    Recognize the Armenian Genocide."

    This simple message is written against an image of Der Zor, covered
    with 1.5 million lights, one for each life lost. The desert witnessed
    the remaining Armenians who were forced to their death march by the
    Ottoman Turks, and became the last resting place for many of the
    refugees. This digital billboard went up on Easter Monday, April 9,
    2012, the day of Remembrance of the Dead.

    The message on the Watertown billboards "Mr. President, Don't Turn
    Your Back! Recognize the Armenian Genocide," is a message to President
    Obama urging him to honor his 2008 campaign promise to recognize the
    Armenian Genocide.
