Kim Kardashian confirms news on her visit to Armenia

YEREVAN, JANUARY 17, ARMENPRESS. American TV star of Armenian origin Kim Kardashian has confirmed the information about her upcoming visit to Armenia. As reports “Armenpress”,pagesix.comstates that Kim Kardashian will make her late father “proud” with an upcoming trip to his family’s native Armenia.

“Our father would be so proud!” Kim told Page Six about the April trip, which will coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. “Our whole family is so excited.”

The 34-year-old reality TV fixture will bring daughter North West, though it’s unclear whether husband Kanye West will join them.

While Kim’s trip will take place as the country remembers the 1915 genocide, when the Ottoman Turks murdered 1.5 million men, women and children, her rep insists the trip isn’t tied to the anniversary.

But Phil Walotsky, a spokesperson for Armenian Genocide Centennial Committee of America, tells Page Six that Kim’s visit “makes sense.”

“I think it makes a lot of sense for anyone who is Armenian to want to connect with their roots and travel back there, whether they are famous or not. Especially in light of this anniversary,” Walotsky said.

The family’s Armenian ancestry was passed on by their late father, Robert Kardashian. Their background is often discussed on “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” and Kim’s visit will be documented on an upcoming episode.

The fact of the Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman government has been documented, recognized, and affirmed in the form of media and eyewitness reports, laws, resolutions, and statements by many states and international organizations. The complete catalogue of all documents categorizing the 1915 wholesale massacre of the Armenian population in Ottoman Empire as a premeditated and thoroughly executed act of genocide, is extensive. Uruguay was the first country to officially recognize the Armenian Genocide in 1965. The massacres of the Armenian people were officially condemned and recognized as genocide in accordance with the international law by France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Sweden, Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Greece, Slovakia, Cyprus, Lebanon, Uruguay, Argentina, Venezuela, Chile, Canada, Vatican and Australia.
