US reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloe Kardashian,
visiting their ancestors' homeland of Armenia, placed flowers on
Friday at a memorial to the 1915 mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman
soldiers.
Kim, wearing a flowing red outfit, laid red tulips near the eternal
flame of the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex on the outskirts of
the capital Yerevan.
The sisters then stood in silence in honor of the victims and spent
about 10 minutes near the eternal flame.
Kardashian arrived with her rapper husband Kanye West, 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 100th anniversary of the mass killings in World War One will be
commemorated by Armenia on April 24.
Armenia, some Western historians and some foreign parliaments refer to
the mass killings as genocide. Muslim Turkey accepts many Christian
Armenians died in partisan fighting beginning in 1915, but it denies
that up to 1.5 million were killed and that it amounted to genocide.
Next week, Kim and Kanye are set to arrive in Israel on a personal
visit for a couple of days and are planning to visit the Western Wall
and other holy sites in Jerusalem.
