    KIM KARDASHIAN TAPES CALL FOR ARMENIAN GENOCIDE RECOGNITION (VIDEO)

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Reality show star 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, Los Angeles Times reports.

    In the video, unveiled earlier this week at the Glendale City Council
    meeting and uploaded to YouTube ON, Kardashian asks the public to
    join in commemorating "the loss of those innocent lives of millions
    of people worldwide."

    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.

    Earlier, 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.
