KIM KARDASHIAN EXPLORES HER ROOTS WITH TRIP TO ARMENIA

American reality television star Kim Kardashian has touched down in
Armenia for a trip to her ancestral homeland, with rapper husband
Kanye West also coming along for the ride.
Kardashian, who also traveled with her sister Khloe and daughter North,
was treated to a royal welcome at the Zvartnots International Airport,
according to photos published Wednesday by the Daily Mail.
Women wearing traditional Armenian dress greeted the family, offering
bread and salt to their visitors -- a tradition usually reserved for
dignitaries, the Daily Mail reported.
The Kardashian-West family then traveled to the city's Marriott Hotel,
where they were met by cheering crowds.
"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 her Instagram page.
The trip will be a chance for Kardashian to "see my heritage and learn
about my ancestors," she said in a separate Instagram post. Her father,
Robert Kardashian, was born into an Armenian-American family in the
United States.
Kardashian also has ties to a number of other countries through
her ancestors.
British Prime Minister David Cameron revealed in an interview last
month with Heat magazine that he is the 13th cousin removed of Kim
Kardashian.
Cameron, who is currently running for a second term in office,
is reportedly related to the Kardashians through a shared ancestor
called Sir William Spencer, who was born in Britain in 1555, Heat said.
