Kim Kardashian Uses Her Star Power to Urge U.S. to Take More Active Steps in Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict Resolution

Reality TV star and advocate for criminal justice reform Kim Kardashian West is urging U.S. President Donald Trump to do more to support Armenia amid renewed fighting with neighboring Azerbaijan. According to The Hill, Kardashian, who has Armenian roots, is trying to raise awareness about the issue among her hundreds of millions of followers, urging them to contact Congress and demand condemnation of Azerbaijan as the initiator of military aggression and of Turkey for its intervention in the conflict.

“Kardashian, who is in direct contact with Trump’s son-in-law and senior advisor Jared Kushner, has the potential to encourage the administration to engage in more active efforts,” the publication reports. The source also mentions American-Armenian doctor and producer of the film “The Promise,” Eric Israelian, who is collaborating with Kim, her family, and other prominent American-Armenians to increase awareness of the situation and draw international attention to the current circumstances.
