The Kardashians are proud of their Armenian heritage, which flows down their late father, Robert Kardashians’ side of the family.

His family emigrated to the United States from an area that now lies in Turkey in the early 1900s.

The celebrity lawyer died in 2003 just eight weeks after being diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.

He passed on his pride in his heritage to his family, who have been vocal about their Armenian roots.

During the trip, Kim and Kourtney had dinner with the President of Armenia, Armen Sarkissian, and his wife, Nouneh Sarkissian, at the Presidential palace.

They also laid flowers at the Memorial Complex in Yerevan to pay tribute to the victims of the still disputed 1915 genocide in which 1.5m Armenians lost their lives.
