Sep 9 – The 42-year-old actress, who is of Armenian origin, has co-written an article for Rolling Stone with Dr Eric Esrailian in which they ask Biden to take action to safeguard Armenians from Azerbaijan, according to aceshowbiz.com.
“My Plea to President Joe Biden to Stop Another Armenian Genocide. It’s time for America (and the world) to take action to protect Armenians from Azerbaijan,” Kim shared a link to the article on X (formerly Twitter) and wrote.
Kim claimed that she and many others are “descendants of Armenian Genocide survivors,” and she went on to explain how Azerbaijan’s actions have harmed Armenians.
She wrote: “Azerbaijan has blockaded the only lifeline between the indigenous Christian Armenians of Artsakh” and the rest of the world.

She went on to say that because of the conflict in Ukraine, some countries have come to rely on Azerbaijan for oil, and that Azerbaijan is using “starvation as a weapon against the Armenian population in the region.”
Kim has asked President Biden to cut off Azerbaijan’s foreign funding and boycott international events in the country.
Three years ago, the star, whose late father, Robert Kardashian, was Armenian, contributed $1 million to the Armenia Fund.
She wrote on Instagram at the time: “I’ve been speaking out about the current situation in Armenia and Artsakh and having conversations with so many others to bring further awareness to the crisis that we cannot allow to advance.”
“My thoughts and prayers are with the brave men, women and children. I want everyone to remember that despite the distance that separates us, we are not limited by borders and we are one global Armenian nation together.”
Donations to the Armenia Fund, she continued, go towards assisting civilians who have been impacted or displaced by the conflict with food, shelter, medical treatment, and other essentials.
