Kim Kardashian visits Armenian during centennial of massacre

US television star Kim Kardashian has arrived in the capital of her ancestral homeland Armenia for a visit expected to draw attention to the centennial of the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians.

Armenia formally marks the killings by Ottoman Turks on April 24. Armenia calls the killings a 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.
