Let me show you my country!: Kim Kardashian to Kanye West
10:06, 11 April 2015YEREVAN, APRIL 11, ARMENPRESS: She is currently in Armenia to reconnect to her ancestral roots. This is how starts the next article, published by the Daily Mail, covering the visit of Kim Kardashian and her family to Armenia. Armenpress reports that on Friday Kim Kardashian led her husband Kanye West by the hand as they stepped out for a romantic night in the former Soviet nation.
The 34-year-old cut a glamorous figure in a stunning red dress with a plunging neckline, after wearing the same garment to a memorial commemorating the victims of the Armenian genocide 100 years ago.
The reality star's raven black locks were swept over her shoulders as she laughed and joked with her husband of nearly one year.
At one point she could be seen leading the iconic musician by the hand as they descended a staircase.
Later the two world famous stars graciously posed for snaps with eager fans holding out their iPhones for mementos.
Kanye, 37, sported a burgundy jacket and tight trousers as he kept thing casual in a sneakers.
Earlier that day Kim and her sister Khloe visited the eternal flame of the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex on the outskirts of the capital Yerevan as part of an eight-day tour of their ancestors' homeland.
The pair looked somber, and at one point Khloe, 30, was seen wiping tears away as she stood in silence with her two Armenian cousins.
Kim arrived with her rapper husband, their child North West and Khloe on Wednesday and were greeted by hundreds of fans.
Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan received Kardashian and her family in Yerevan on Thursday.
'It was an honor to meet the Prime Minister of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan who expressed how proud they are that we are proud Armenians and we have not forgotten our roots! #NeverForget,' Kardashian wrote on her Instagram account.
The Armenian ancestors are on their father's side - his family emigrated to the United States from an area that now lies in Turkey.
During her eight-day trip, Kim and her film crew will visit Yerevan's genocide memorial and Armenia's National Archives to see documents about her ancestors.
She is then to travel to the provincial city of Gyumri where her distant relatives live.
Beyond snapping selfies with her fans, Kim has refused to talk with the press but instead took to social media to express her delight at being in Armenia.
'Armenia we are here!!!!! We are so grateful to be here & start this journey of a lifetime! Thank you to everyone who greeted us! I can't wait to explore our country and have some yummy food!' Kardashian wrote on Instagram.
'My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors! My cousins came along too! So excited I can't sleep.'
There is now attention on whether Pope Francis with utter the word 'genocide' during his homily on Sunday when he will declare a little-known 10th-century Armenian mystic a doctor of the church, one of the highest honors a pope can bestow.
Francis avoided the word on Thursday when he met the visiting Armenian church delegation, but said that what transpired 100 years ago involved men 'who were capable of systematically planning the annihilation of their brothers.'
'Let us invoke divine mercy so that for the love of truth and justice, we can heal every wound and bring about concrete gestures of peace and reconciliation between two nations that are still unable to come to a reasonable consensus on this sad event,' he said.
