Return to the roots. Kim Kardashian is in Armenia Photo, VIDEO

Shortly before Paris-Yerevan airplane landed at the Zvartnots Airport: popular show star Kim Kardashian arrived with her family.

Note that this is Kim's first visit to her homeland. Her sister Khloe, no less famous husband, rapper Kanye West and their daughter North West accompany Kim during the Armenian visit.

They will be followed by camera crews from the broadcaster E! to film several episodes of the reality series Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but no official meetings or press conferences are planned.The star of Armenian descent will try to recognize her own homeland and roots.

Note that about a month ago, the popular Daily Mail newspaper published a lengthy article about the Kardashian family, which was referred to the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915, Kardashian’s history in the United States and their life from abroad.

Kim's visit was foreseen within the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. In this way she tries to pay tribute to the 1.5 million victims.

Kim Kardashian has more than 78 million followers in different social pages. It is believed that her posts concerning the Armenian Genocide will arouse great interest among the followers.

The US government, apparently wary of spoiling relations with Turkey, is yet to join the 22 countries that have formally recognised the event as genocide, although 43 American states have accepted its status as such.

The word genocide was coined and defined by the Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1943 to describe the extermination of ethnic Armenians by Ottoman authorities in Turkey.

As many as 1.5 million people are thought to have been killed in the slaughter, which Armenians say began on 24 April 1915, when Ottoman security forces rounded up and arrested 250 Armenian intellectuals in Constantinople, and continued throughout the first world war. Turkey still denies that genocide is an appropriate term for the killings.

In 2011, Kardashian broke from her usual frivolous image to write a blog postcalling on Americans to recognise Armenian genocide. “Until this crime is resolved truthfully and fairly, the Armenian people will live with the pain of what happened to their families and the fear of what might happen again to their homeland,” she wrote.
