Kim Kardashian upset over use of her photo on Cosmopolitan Turkish edition cover

PanARMENIAN.Net - Reality star and celebrity Kim Kardashian is upset over the use of her photo on the cover of the Turkish edition of Cosmopolitan magazine.

Kardashian is upset because she would never allow her picture to be published on the cover the Turkish Cosmo, especially so close to April 24 and the 96th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide, Asbarez reports quoting TMZ entertainment portal.

Kardashian did an international photo shoot, the pictures from which were used by several editions of Cosmo, but the magazine did not inform Kardashian or her representatives that the photos would appear in the Turkish edition, according to the report.

No immediate comment from Cosmo.

“It’s disrespectful to Kim Kardashian and to all Armenians for the publishers of Cosmopolitan to use her image, without her permission, on the month we mark Turkey’s genocide against the Armenian people,” Executive Director of the Armenian National Committee of America, Aram Hamparian said. “Instead of trying to turn a profit in Turkey by callously featuring a cover photo of a descendant of Armenian Genocide survivors in its April issue, Cosmopolitan should find creative ways to educate its readers about the Turkish government’s shameful effort to cover up this atrocity.”

Lending his outrage to the Kardashian situation was LA-based lawyer Mark Geragos, saying “it’s another example of the Turks rubbing salt in the wound of the Armenian people,” the report says.
