Famous American Armenian TV personality Kim Kardashian told about her Armenian roots and her father's legacy in an exclusive essay published in Тhe Time magazine.

“When we grew up, all my father did was talk about our [Armenian] heritage. It was such a big part of our life: We’d eat Armenian food, we would listen to stories—my dad was really outspoken about our history. We were told that when a lot of Armenians moved, they took the “ian” off their last names in fear that they would be killed. “Whatever you girls do, never change your last name—it’s Kardashian,” he would say. He was very vocal and wanted us to never to forget where we came from,‬” Kim writes.

She also tells about her grandparents who came to Los Angeles before the Armenian Genocide happened.

“The whole point of remembering the genocide is to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Kim says.

The TV star urged President Obama to use a”G-word”, adding that she was very “disappointing” he did not use it on Friday. She also called on Turkey to recognize the crime.
