"Khloe & I brought along our cousins Kourtni & Kara Kardashian. We miss you Krista! Yes we have 3 cousins who are sisters that all start with a K too! LOL," Kim Kardashian captioned a picture of the foursome on Instagram.
Khloe Kardashian also took to the photo sharing site to post a snapshot of herself with Kim and Kourtni in front of the city's Mother Armenia statue. The star revealed the image symbolizes "peace through strength" and "the prominent female figures in Armenian history."
The Kardashians told PM Abrahamyan they "had long dreamed of their historical homeland and were happy to be in the country," according to a government press release. The sisters promised to learn Armenian and use their celebrity to raise awareness of the Armenian Genocide.
Kim and Khloe Kardashian and their family currently star on E! reality series Keeping Up with the Kardashians, which broadcasts Sundays at 9 p.m. ET. The siblings' former stepfather, Bruce Jenner, recently spoke with Diane Sawyer for Bruce Jenner - The Interview, set to air April 24.
