YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 13, ARMENPRESS: Kim Kardashian posted a message
on her blog about the plight of the Syrian Armenian community, and
the role the Syrian Armenian Relief Fund is playing to improve their
situation. As Armenpress reports citing Asbarez, below is Kardashian's
message: "I just wanted to share something that's very important to
me, and it's something than many of you may not be aware of. Syria
is now home to over 100,000 Armenians, most of whom fled during the
Armenian Genocide. But in recent years, fighting between the Syrian
army and rebels started and thousands of Armenians in Syria have
been affected. Armenian churches have been destroyed, homes have
been burned down or looted and thousands of Armenians are unemployed
and in need. Thousands of Armenians have evacuated their homes,
dozens of innocent civilians have been killed and tens of thousands
are struggling just to eat or find shelter. The Syrian Armenian Relief
Fund was set up to raise money to distribute food and water and provide
medicine, medical care, housing and even classes for children whose
schools have been closed. My Armenian heritage is incredibly important
to me and I think it's important to raise awareness of this."
