Kardashian to mark massacre of Armenians

American reality television star Kim Kardashian has arrived in the capital of her ancestral home for a visit expected to draw attention to the centennial of the massacre of 1.5m Armenians.

Armenia formally marks the killings by Ottoman Turks on April 24. It calls the killings genocide, a view widely supported by scholars, but Turkey vehemently rejects the term - maintaining that the figure is inflated and that many people on both sides died.
