Kim Kardashian and her sisters personally visited the memorial during a trip to Armenia in 2015.

The reality TV star also continued her commemoration by sharing photos from her husband Kanye West’s Yerevan concert of the same year.

Khloe Kardashian also honored the 104th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide by sharing a quote by Armenian-American writer William Saroyan on Instagram: “Go ahead, destroy Armenia. See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia”.

As celebrities around the world commemorated the genocide, one particular Armenian had a birthday to celebrate on the same day.
