The JCRC of Greater Boston is appalled by the billboard recently posted in Boston’s North End that denies the existence of the Armenian Genocide. This is a disturbing affront to the Armenian community and to all decent people in Boston. As one neighborhood resident rightly says in today’s Boston’s Globe, this billboard, placed across from the Armenian Heritage Park, is “like putting a Holocaust denial ad right above a Holocaust memorial.”

We are pleased that Clear Channel Outdoors, owners of the billboard, has indicated that the message was put up in error and has removed it.
