Re: Kim Kardashian dodges the Genocide topic and is now going to exploit Armenia!
Kardashian party sparks controversy in Armenian culture
Kourtney Kardashian's birthday was on April 18, but the real celebration happens this weekend. Younger sisters Kim and Khloe Kardashian are hosting a party for the 31-year-old reality star. Coincidentally, the party takes place on a somber day in the Armenia culture.
As reported here earlier this month, Kim created a lot of controversy when she posted an apology about the poor timing of her older sister's party on her website. Kim preemptively announced the upcoming celebration and defended her actions. A number of readers commented on the article, debating Kim's sincerity and judging her intentions.
As the date of the Armenian Genocide approaches, Khloe carefully promoted the same party on her website yesterday. "This Saturday Kim and I are hosting a birthday bash for Kourt in Vegas at Wet Republic. We could not be more excited but we also cannot forget that this falls on the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. I don't want people to think that because we are celebrating my dear big sister's birthday that we are neglecting to remember and honor those whose lives were lost. It was always very important to our father to teach us about our heritage and our culture and we have continued to carry on that legacy. So at Kourtney's birthday, we will be toasting to the future and honoring the past."
The Kardashian girls have spoken with pride about their Armenian heritage. They have even incorporated the culture into a new xxxelry line. The young women partnered with Virgin Saints and Angels to design a romantic and edgy line that celebrates the Armenian heritage.
In a recent interview with the Armenian Pulse, Kim talked about the influence of the Armenian culture on her lifestyle. "My great Grandparents from my fathers side came to LA from Armenia right before the Genocide. My great Grandfather was Armenian and my great Grandmother Turkish-Armenian. My mother is English, so I am half Armenian, but, I was raised with a huge Armenian influence, always hearing stories of Armenia, eating Armenian food and celebrating Armenian holidays!"
