What Is Kim Talking About?
American reality television star, Kim Kardashian, has a little more to say than “where’s the keys to my Bentley?”. The celebrity has over 20.5 million followers on twitter, and has used this social power to let her voice be heard regarding Syria. On March 30th, Kim comments on her awareness for the detriments of the modern civil war. As recently the jihadists crossed into Syria and seized the town in Latkaia province, home to over 2,000 Armenians; Kardashian exclaims how she is personally affected by these current events as she is from an Armenian descent herself. In related news, the UN Security Council is urging Syria to exterminate any possible threats of terrorism due to the increase in interest over the Kessab, and the fight to declare whose land it really is. Kardashian expresses her thoughts as she tweets, “Please let’s not let history repeat itself!!!”, referring to her hoping that there will not be another Armenian Genocide as a result from the current events mentioned above. With the awareness that Kim has and continues to spread about Kessab, more people will become more culturally and internationally aware of the modern crisis birthed by repercussions of history. Well, there you have it, Kim Kardashian using her brain to contribute to a real global crisis. Congrats! --Margaux Katz
