YEREVAN, MAY 3, ARMENPRESS: Kim Kardashian may not have been able
to attend this year’s genocide commemoration events in Glendale,
but organizers hope her 43-second video clip will be the gift that
keeps on giving, reports Armenpress citing Glendale News-Press.
In the video uploaded to YouTube Wednesday, Kardashian – who recently
made headlines after she said she wanted to run for mayor of Glendale –
asks the public to join in commemorating “the loss of those innocent
lives of millions of people worldwide.”
Sitting on a couch with her hair pulled back into a ponytail,
Kardashian also refers to the Armenian genocide of 1915, in which
roughly 1.5 million Armenians were killed at the hands of Ottoman
Turks, as “the modern genocide.”
Kardashian does not specifically refer to Glendale, but city officials
said it was sent in for the official genocide commemoration at the
Alex Theatre last week. It was never aired, however, due to technical
difficulties.
