YEREVAN, October 8. /ARKA/. US reality television star Kim Kardashian and business lady Kim Kardashian said on Tuesday in Yerevan that she had discussed the issue of recognizing the Armenian Genocide with the US Presidential Administration.
Kardashian has arrived in Armenia to participate in the World Congress on Information Technology, which is being held in the Armenian capital city Yerevan on October 6-9.
She said recognition is her goal, and she will never give up. She noted that she regularly raises the issue of recognition of the Armenian Genocide, including and in the White House.
She said she had discussed this in the White House. 'I did not have a private conversation with the president on this topic, but I discussed it with his advisers," Kardashian said.
The Armenian Genocide is the first genocide of the 20th century. According to Armenian and many other historians, up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed starting in 1915 in a systematic campaign by the government of Turkey. Turkey has been denying it for decades.
The Armenian genocide has been recognized by dozens of countries. The first was Uruguay that did so in 1965. Other nations are Russia, France, Italy, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Poland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Cyprus, Lebanon, Canada, Venezuela, Argentina, 49 U.S. states, except for the State of Mississippi.
