Kim Kardashian Responds to Turkish Cosmo Cover Controversy

By Tracey Harrington McCoy Posted Apr 11th 2011 09:15PM

Kim Kardashian graces the cover of this month's Cosmopolitan Magazine in Turkey--unfortunately, it coincides with Genocide Remembrance Day, which commemorates the victims of the 1915 Armenian genocide by the Turks.

The reality star took to her blog to share her thoughts on the matter: "I just found out today that I am on the cover of Cosmopolitan Magazine in Turkey this month," Kardashian wrote.

"Cosmopolitan Magazine has a number of international editions all around the world that run in various territories, and when I did this shoot for the international covers I had no idea that Turkey was planning to run my story on their cover THIS month, considering Genocide Remembrance Day is this month," the 30-year-old star continued.

"My Armenian heritage means a lot to me and I've been brought up to be incredibly proud of my family's background and culture so as an Armenian-American woman it is a huge honor for me to be on the first ever Armenian Cosmopolitan cover.

"I have an amazing relationship with Cosmopolitan Magazine. World-over, Cosmo is known as a fun and inspiring magazine for women of all races, shapes, sizes, regardless of their political beliefs and I really hope that if I can bring awareness to the issue, then this in an accomplishment," she concluded.

A rep from the magazine gave the following statement to TMZ.com regarding Kardashian: "Kim Kardashian is one of our favorite cover girls. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to photograph her for the Cosmopolitan editions worldwide."

YOu knew when they were going to run the cover?? Do you work for cosmo? You realize what she did not know was that they were going to run the cover, not when the genocide date was?

"Your dumb as a stone"?

It's "you're".... how about you try learning how to spell at a third-grade level before you try insulting someone ELSE'S intelligence....

*your

"you're" is a contraction of the words you are. "your" is a possessive term.

"A disgrace to all Armenians and Americans"...? That's a rather broad statement. Who conducted that survey for you?

By jane

By Nina

Where does it say that she is on the cover of the first Armenian Cosmo?! I used to like and respect her (mainly for her work ethic), but not any longer. As a fellow Armenian, she is a disgrace. The only Armenian thing about her is her fathers name. He must be rolling over in his grave seeing how his children have turned out after being pimped out by their mother.

She should really just get into porn and stay there.

"...the 30-year-old star continued." Star of what?

By JEB BUCKINGHAM

Kim's proud of her armenian heritage. Is sahe proud of her adult films, and her nude photos, and her trampy behavior too?

By ec

the kardaskanks can't help themselves. anytime they hear rap noise or are in a nfl/nba locker room...their legs automatically spread and their mouths open up for some of that ghetto thug juice

By Jennifer

I don't recognize her with clothes on.

By reyna

The genocide happened a century ago by the ottoman empire, which collapsed 90 years ago, and as a turk i would not call myself an ottoman

By bluuizzz

Please! Now she is concerned about her Armenian heritage..doesn't seem to take it into account when she beds every black man ( and is not concerned about the strife in the African nations) in town or spreads herself for naked photo shoots..she is about predictable as ever..if she had a brain it would die of loneliness...her sister, now there is a conversation all of itself..what a couple of skanks!

By missumonkmonk

I disagree Mr.Kidd II. It should stick to a real job like white castle-kfc.....Thats alot to expect for a tard like that but its possible!!!
