Kim Kardashian donating $1 million to Armenia Fund for Karabakh efforts

PanARMENIAN.Net - Reality TV star, Armenian-American beauty mogul Kim Kardashian West will be donating $1 million to Hayastan All-Armenia Fund (Armenia Fund) to support the organization's effort in helping Nagorno-Karabakh residents impacted by Azerbaijan's aggression.

"I’m so honored to be part of today’s global effort to support the Armenia Fund. I’ve been speaking out about the current situation in Armenia and Artsakh (Karabakh) and having conversations with so many others to bring further awareness to the crisis that we cannot allow to advance," Kardashian West said in a twitter thread.

"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."

Kardashian West noted the the Armenia Fund is directly helping those that have been impacted with humanitarian aid through food, shelter, and medical care.

"I will be donating $1M to assist their efforts on the ground and invite you to join me. Whether you are helping with just raising awareness and posting on social media or donating just $1, every bit helps." Kardashian West added.

Azerbaijan, with help from Turkey, launched a large-scale offensive against Karabakh (Artsakh) in the morning of September 27, shelling Armenian positions and civilian settlements with large caliber weapons and rocket systems. Armenia and Karabakh have introduced martial law and total mobilization. The Armenian side has reported deaths and injuries both among the civilian population and the military. International and local journalists too have been injured in Azeri shelling of towns and villages, as well as the iconic Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shushi. Before a humanitarian ceasefire could begin on October 10, Azerbaijan launched a new offensive and struck settlements both in Karabakh and Armenia.
