YEREVAN. – NEWS.am STYLE has ascertained details about famous American Armenian TV personality Kim Kardashian’s forthcoming visit to Armenia.
We have learned that Kardashian will arrive in Armenia in the coming weeks, and stay in the country for about a week. First, however, the members of her staff—comprising several dozens of people—will come to Armenia, and make preparations for the Kardashian sisters’ visit to the country.
We also have learned that Kim Kardashian and her staff will stay at a luxury capital city Yerevan hotel, where they already have booked all the rooms of two floors.
Also in the lead-up to the centenary of the Armenian Genocide, the National Archives of Armenia (NAA) is preparing a databank comprising the names of the genocide victims. And reflecting in the recent Daily Mail information with respect to the forebears of famous American Armenian television personality Kim Kardashian, Amatuni Virabyan noted that the Kardashian family had two branches.
“One part lived in the Kars Province [in modern-day Turkey]; they were Protestants. People used to call them Molokan; Armenian Molokans. And the other part, [lived] in [the] Erzurum [Province in modern-day Turkey]. “We found the Kardashians’ traces in Karakale village of the Kars Province. Their family moved to America before the Genocide, but the others, who stayed and survived the slaughter, found shelter in [Armenia’s] Gyumri [city], which at the time was called Alexandropol.
“There are Kardashians in Gyumri, who are the distant relatives of the famous Kardashians. Their representatives were here [, in Armenia]. They are shooting a film now; they need to come here again, and I will read, show them those Karakale documents,” Virabyan noted.
