Kim Kardashian may be a busy woman who is trying to balance her career comeback after her divorce from Kris Humphries, a brand new relationship with Kanye West and her endorsement deals, but she wants her millions of Twitter followers to remember a piece of her heritage and history.
One of the first tweets Kim sent out this morning was regarding the Armenian Genocide and how people should remember this horrific event. If it wasn't for Kardashian, many people wouldn't know about it, as the girls often talk about their proud Armenian heritage on Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Lamar & Khloe. In fact, recently Lamar was asked to play in Turkey and Khloe felt weird about it because of her Armenian heritage and the genocide.
Kim Kardashian decided to remind all of her followers of the Armenian history. "Today lets all stand together & remember the 1.5 million people who were massacred in the Armenian Genocide. April 24th, 1915," she tweeted, adding the hashtag #neverforget.
If it wasn't for Kim, many younger people probably wouldn't know about the genocide. Although Kim probably doesn't take the title of educator, she is often speaking out on the issue to keep reminding people that this event actually happened.
Whether Kardashian is liked or not, the Armenian people will surely appreciate that someone with such a large following and fan base is using it for something good and educational.
Do you think Kim is doing the right thing?

We, the Turkish Americans, are extremely upset with the long discredited Armenian political claims of genocide as being presented to unsuspecting public as settled history.
If one cherishes values like objectivity, truth, and honesty, then one should use the phrase “Turkish-Armenian conflict”. Asking someone “Do you accept or deny Armenian Genocide” shows anti-Turkish bias. The question, in all fairness, should be re-phrased: “What is your stand on the Turkish-Armenian conflict?”
Turks believe it was a civil war within a world war, engineered, provoked, and waged by the Armenians with active support from Russia, England, and France, and passive support from the U.S. diplomats, missionaries, media, and others with anti-Turkish agendas, all eyeing the vast territories of the collapsing Ottoman Empire.
Most Armenians claim that the wartime TERESET (temporary resettlement) of the Armenians was genocide, based on dubious evidence, hearsay, forgeries, and highly refutable arguments, totally ignoring the Armenian complicity in war crimes ranging from raids, rebellions, and terrorism to treason, causing many casualties in the Muslim, mostly Turkish, community, all of which triggered the TERESET. Genocide is a legal term with a very specific definition requiring, not a political, but a LEGAL judgment, which the Armenians lack. There is massive evidence to the contrary, clearly pointing to a civil war fought by Muslim and Christian irregulars.
While some amongst us may be forgiven for taking the ceaseless Armenian propaganda at face value and believing blatant Armenian falsifications merely because they are repeated so often, it is difficult and painful for people like us, sons and daughters of the Turkish survivors most of whose signatures you see below.
Those seemingly endless “War years” of 1912-1922 (seferberlik yillari) brought wide-spread death and destruction on to all Ottoman citizens. No Turkish family was left untouched, those of most of the signatories’ below included. Those nameless, faceless, selfless Turkish victims are killed for a second time today with politically motivated and baseless charges of Armenian genocide.
Allegations of Armenian genocide are racist and dishonest history.
They are racist because they imply only Armenian (or Christian) dead count, the Turkish (or Muslim) dead do not. The former must be remembered and grieved; the latter must be ignored and forgotten. Do you know how many Muslims, mostly Turks, were killed during World War One? Answer: About 3 million, including half a million of them at the hands of well-armed, well-motivated, and ruthless Armenian revolutionaries and para-military thugs. Compare that with less than 300,000 Armenian casualties which number is gradually magnified to 1.5 million over the years through Armenian propaganda.
And the allegations of Armenian genocide are dishonest because they simply dismiss “the six T’s of the Turkish-Armenian conflict”.
Take a look at this incredible photo at http://www.ETHOCIDE.com, which refutes the Armenian narrative. Taken in 1906, it depicts cadets in uniform at an Armenian Military Academy in Bulgaria. The Armenian
cadets are proudly posing while brandishing their Russian-made MOSIN rifles. The Armenian Revolutioanry Federation used these weapons since 1893. This photo is the tiny needle that bursts the “genocide balloon” forever!
Do these people in the photo look like “poor, starving, unarmed, helpless Armenians” to anyone?
If you can say yes, then I will withdraw my objection to your discriminatory approach. Then again, if you say yes, you are a bigger deceiver than that Armenian book writer Aram Andonian of “fake Talat Telegrams” fame ( http://www.tallarmeniantale.com/andonian.htm ).
This simple, unassuming photo is a “smoking gun” of sorts, pun intended, although none of the guns in the photo are smoking, that destroys the house of cards the Armenians built in their genocide claims,
… that Armenians were always loyal, hardworking citizens;
… that they never did anything to betray their country;
… that they never had armies;
… that they had no guns;
… that they were poor, starving, helpless souls;
… that everything happened one day on April 24, 1915 one day;
… that there was no provocation;
…and that the Armenians never posed a threat.
The Armenian myth is blown with a single photo…
