Kim Kardashian -- who recently made headlines after she said she
wanted to run for mayor of Glendale -- has also taped a public
service announcement for the city's official commemoration of the
Armenian genocide.
In the video, unveiled Tuesday at the Glendale City Council meeting
and uploaded to YouTube ON Wednesday, Kardashian 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
told the Glendale News-Press it was sent in for the official genocide
commemoration at the Alex Theatre last week. It was never aired,
however, due to technical difficulties.
She had been invited to attend personally, but was out of state.
Councilman Ara Najarian - who publicly invited Kardashian to be his
honorary chief of staff to learn more about Glendale politics - said
that if she had attended, "It would have been a little more exciting."
The event was sold out, with about 1,400 in attendance.
"That is the one and only Kim Kardashian," Najarian said in referring
to the video. "I don't think anyone can bring too much publicity to
the Armenian genocide."
Since her quip about running for elected office in Glendale aired on
her sister's reality TV show, "Khloe & Lamar," Kardashian has been
coy about her plans.
On Sunday, she told Politico that the public would "just kind of have
to stay tuned."
In the TV clip, Kardashian tells her sister that she wants to run
for mayor of Glendale - or as she calls it, "Armenian town" - in
five years. The mayor is actually picked from among elected City
Council members.
