The Boston City Hall has agreed to construct the memorial to the
victims of the Armenian Genocide at the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy
Greenway notwithstanding the disagreement of some park officials.

The memorial will be placed on Parcel 13 of the Greenway. It will have
12 sides, symbolizing the former 12 provinces of Armenia, a fountain
and a green way 20 meters in diameter.

Itï~^’s not clear so far what will be written on the monument and
how the inscription will reflect the term ï~^"genocide.ï~^"

The city officials were first suggesting other sites for the monument
to the Armenian Genocide victims, but the initiator of the program, the
Armenian Heritage Foundation, insisted that they are not interested in
any other place. The positive attitude of the City Hall was greatly
conditioned by the movement launched in Boston and Watertown, as
a result of which the Anti-Defamation League Jewish Organization
recognized the Armenian Genocide.
