It seems that, in the wake of the Khloe & Lamar episode that aired
on Sunday, which focused on the Armenian Genocide, Turkey has taken
notice, with its top newspaper writing about the episode in a headline,
no less.
Aram Suren Hamparian, the executive director of the Armenian National
Committee of America, posted the following on his Facebook page:
"FRONT PAGE NEWS IN TURKEY:
"The major Turkish daily newspaper, Hurriyet, reports on the Kardashian
family's pride in their Armenian heritage and their stand against
Turkey as an unrepentant perpetrator of genocide against the Armenian
nation.

"Stats: 2.1 million viewers (+ reruns); Armenian Genocide #10 most
searched Google term on the day of the show; Well over 13 million
tweets and retweets about the Armenian Genocide."
The Kardashians are Armenian-American on their late father's side. The
late Robert Kardasian, who died in 2003, was a third-generation
Armenian-American.
The Hurriyet article is somewhat inaccurate, however. It states that
"The final episode of the reality show following the Kardhashian
family showed how Odom's wife, Khloe Kardashian, changed her and her
husband's mind following Kim's objections to Odom's possible transfer
to a Turkish team."
That's true, although no real decision was made prior to the NBA
lockout ending. Also, Khloe & Lamar is set to air another episode
this coming Sunday, with Lamar and Khloe's reactions to his trade
from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks.
However, seeing a Turkish newspaper pick up the story is key in many
ways. For one, the Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian
Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, the Great Crime
is still unknown to many, including Lamar Odom, apparently.
In April 1915, the Ottoman Empire, in what is now Turkey, allegedly
orchestrated a massacre of the local Armenian population. The number
of Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and
one and a half million.
Since then Turkey has continued to refuse to acknowledge the term
of genocide as an accurate description for the incident. Therefore,
this coverage in what has been called by some Turkey's New York Times,
is good for those who want Turkey to fess up, despite any inaccuracies.
