The Watervliet-based Capital District Armenian Genocide Committee has announced that their electronic billboard will displayed over Interstate 787 until May 9.

The intent of the billboard which reads “1.5 million massacred. Learn the Truth. Shame on Turkey: end the cruel denial” is to educate the general public on the truth about the Armenian Genocide.

On the threshold of the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, similar billboards were installed in Montebello, Boston and other cities throughout the United States.
