Kim Kardashian has met the prime minister of Armenia as she visits the country to celebrate her family’s roots.The reality television star, her husband Kanye West, daughter North and sister Khloe, have booked up two floors of a luxury hotel in the capital Yerevan.
Kardashian was greeted by a huge crowd of fans when the group took a tour of the downtown area.
She had an audience with the country’s premier Hovik Abrahamyan, the government press service said.
President Serzh Sarkisian is currently in Italy on a visit that will also see him meet Pope Francis.
Kardashian is reportedly also in the country to make a documentary about the Armenian genocide, ahead of events later this month to mark the centenary of the killings.
Beyond snapping selfies with her fans, she has refused to talk to the press but instead took to social media to express her delight at being in Armenia.
“Armenia we are here!!!!! We are so grateful to be here & start this journey of a lifetime! Thank you to everyone who greeted us! I can’t wait to explore our country and have some yummy food!” Kardashian wrote on Instagram.
“My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors! My cousins came along too! So excited I can’t sleep.”
Kardashian’s Armenian ancestors on her father’s side emigrated to the United States from an area that now lies in Turkey.
During her eight-day trip, Kardashian and her film crew will visit Yerevan’s genocide memorial and Armenia’s National Archives to see documents about her ancestors.
