KARDASHIAN SISTERS ANNOUNCE FIRST-EVER TRIP TO ARMENIA
10:23, 13 Jan 2015
The Kardashian sisters have taken over half the globe to date. Next
stop: Armenia.
Khloe Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian are planning
to travel to their paternal ancestral homeland in April, E! News has
exclusively learned.
The specifics are still being worked out for their family milestone
journey, but Kim is set to take daughterNorth West with her, while
Kourtney will be traveling with kids Mason,Penelope and Reign as well.
Several cousins are also expected to be along for the
continent-crossing ride.
Kim's hubby, Kanye West, will make the trip if his upcoming touring
schedule allows.
"Visiting Armenia has been on Kim's list forever," a family insider
tells. "They are all so excited! They want to learn about their
heritage."
The Kardashian sisters' late father, Robert Kardashian, was born
to Armenian-American parents and his great-grandparents were ethnic
Armenian immigrants from a part of Turkey that at the time belonged
to the Russian Empire (which toppled in 1917).
The sisters have always culturally identified with their Armenian
roots, annually paying tribute to victims of the Armenian Genocide,
which occurred in what is now modern-day Turkey, and otherwise proudly
recognizing their heritage. Kim has also spoken out about the plight
of Syrian Armenians caught up in the ongoing civil war in Syria.
In 2011, when Kim landed on the cover of Turkish Cosmopolitan, she
was upset that the magazine put out the issue at a time that coincided
with the global Genocide Remembrance Day, April 24, reusing the same
cover shot that had been used for the inaugural issue of Armenian
Cosmopolitan the previous month.
"Cosmopolitan Magazine has a number of international editions all
around the world that run in various territories, and when I did
this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey
was planning to run my story on their cover THIS month, considering
Genocide Remembrance Day is this month," Kim said at the time.
"My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I've been brought up to
be incredibly proud of my family's background and culture so as an
Armenian-American woman it is a huge honor for me to be on the first
ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover."
