Meet Kourtni and Kara Kardashian! Kim introduces her Armenian cousins
And then there were three more!
Kim Kardashian has identified the two family members she has been seen with during her ancestral tour of Armenia as cousins Kourtni and Krista Kardashian... and revealed there is a third cousin named Krista. Daily Mail reports.
The 34-reality star - who is has been joined on the trip by sister Khloe, husband Kanye West and daughter North - made the revelation in an Instagram post on Thursday.
'Khloe & I brought along our cousins Kourtni & Kara Kardashian,' she said, identifying her two family members, pictured alongside her as they met with Armenia's Prime Minister, Hovik Abrahamyan in Yerevan.
But Kim revealed that there is a third sister, adding: 'We miss you Krista! Yes we have 3 cousins who are sisters that all start with a K too! LOL.'
Laugh out loud matters aside, Prime Minister Abrahamyan is said to praised Kim and her family's contribution to 'international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian genocide' during their meeting.
Kim, Khloe and their cousins also jointly promised to push for the recognition of the genocide, the government said.
'The Kardashians apologised for not speaking Armenian but said they are learning their native language,' a government statement said.
'They pledged to continue the struggle for international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian genocide.'
Taking to her Instagram account to reflect on the experience, Kim said: '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.'
The Kardashian sisters landed in their ancestral hometown on Wednesday evening and have already hit the ground running when it comes to packing in the sightseeing.
Kim and Khloe have been busy sharing snaps of their first full day in the Armenian capital of Yerevan, as they visit the city's tourist spots, and taking the obligatory selfies at every opportunity.
It is their first trip to the country their late father Robert's side of the family called home before emigrating to the States, with the sisters gushing about getting back to their roots today.
Taking to her Instagram, Kim captioned one photo: 'Khloe & I visiting Mother Armenia yesterday.'
'This statue reminds visitors of the strong female figures in Armenian history. I love how powerful women are and respected so much in our culture!'.
It is expected for some of the footage to later appear on their E! Network reality show.
