    THE TORCH OF LIBERTY

    WATERTOWN, Mass.-This year, the Armenian genocide commemorative
    billboard is scheduled to go up in Watertown, on Arsenal Street,
    on April 6. In the middle of the billboard, the torch of liberty
    is urging the United States to officially recognize the Armenian
    genocide. The commemorative billboard is sponsored by Peace of Art,
    Inc., a non-profit organization which uses art as an educational
    tool to bring awareness to the universal human condition, and promote
    peaceful solutions to conflict. Peace of Art, Inc. is not associated
    with political or religious organizations.

    Around the same time that the Armenian genocide commemorative billboard
    will be installed, President Obama will visit Turkey as part of his
    international tour. It has been speculated that he may influence the
    opening of the borders between Turkey and Armenia.

    Everyone has been following President Obama as he engages in carrying
    the torch of liberty and attempts to open dialogue for peace and
    cooperation with all nations. The Armenia Diaspora has been following
    President Obama as well, and waiting for the official recognition of
    the Armenian genocide by the U.S.

    "Political compromise is not a solution to this problem," said Daniel
    Varoujan Hejinian, the founder of Peace of Art, Inc. He added that
    recognition of the Armenian genocide will contribute to discouraging
    future use of genocide as a socio-political solution. "In addition,
    it will contribute to the political stabilization in the region, and
    it will improve and normalize relations between Armenia and Turkey."
