Armenian-American singer and actress Cher united with Armenian-American reality stars Kourtney and Kim Kardashian to support the new film The Promise.

The trio attended the Los Angeles premiere at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Wednesday, joining the film’s star, Christian Bale, on the red carpet.

Director Terry George’s new historical drama, also starring Oscar Isaac, focuses on the Armenian Genocide carried out by the crumbling Ottoman Empire during World War I. As the war drags on, the national mood gets worse and Armenian citizens become the victims of raging hate crimes.

Following the screening, the wife of Kanye West, 36, tweeted: “So proud of the movie #ThePromise Everyone please go see it and finally hear the story of the Armenian people.”

In April 2015, Kim and sister Khloé Kardashian traveled to Armenia for eight days during which they paid their respects to the Armenian Genocide Memorial in the country’s capital — which is dedicated to the estimated 1.5 million Armenians killed by the Ottoman Turks at the beginning of the 20th century. The visit was later shown on their family’s E! series Keeping Up with the Kardashians in October 2016.

Meanwhile, Cher, who was born Cherilyn Sarkisian, has been very vocal about her support for the film.

“Hitler said if they don’t remember the Armenians, they will not remember the Jews. We cannot let this happen to another group of people. I vow to keep the promise,” the icon said in a video released on Wednesday.

And back in October, Cher tweeted that she saw The Promise for the first time, writing: “NEVER AGAIN!”

Cher’s late father, John Paul Sarkisian, was of Armenian descent.

In addition, The Promise has garnered celebrity support from Leonardo DiCaprio, Barbra Streisand, Armenian-American tennis legend Andre Agassi, as well George Clooney and his pregnant wife, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, both of whom attended the film’s London premiere earlier this month.

All proceeds from The Promise, which hits theaters April 21, will be donated to non-profit organizations geared to helping spread Armenian culture and education, including Elton John’s AIDS Foundation.

April 24 will mark the 102nd anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

“THIS NITE IVE SEEN“THE PROMISE“.IT IS THE TRUE STORY Of HOW THE TURKS SLAUGHTERED 1.5 MILLION ARMENIANS IN 1915.ERDOGAN PASHA…NEVER AGAIN,”- Chare wrote on her Twitter.

By the way, recently Variety has spoken to producers of the film and found out that “The Promise” has faced some difficulties since its premiere. The film has yet to close a distribution deal, as some studios have business interests in Turkey, which continues to deny the systematic killings and slaughter of Armenians.

There is another problem too – the evident propaganda campaign to discredit “The Promise.” The film’s IMDb page has received more than 86,000 user votes, the bulk of them one-star ratings, despite the fact that the movie has had only three public screenings.

The 69-year-old U.S. celebrity born Cherilyn Sarkisian has brought the attention of her fans on Twitter to the situation with the continuing social protests in Armenia.

“Russia raises electricity prices [by] 22%,” Cher tweeted on July 4, reminding that protesters in Yerevan campaigning against electricity price hikes sought by a Russian-owned utility company were “beaten & shot” with water cannons.

“No one cares about Armenians,” the singer says, adding a praying hands icon and a hashtagged name of another Armenian American celebrity, Kim Kardashian.

The protest known as Electric Yerevan that began in the Armenian capital’s Liberty Square on June 19 and continued several days later with protesters occupying central Baghramyan Avenue has issued an ultimatum to the authorities over the weekend to comply with their demand for the revoking of the price hike by Monday evening or see the “advancement” of their barricades towards the Presidential Palace.
