Armenia is gearing up to mark the 100th anniversary of the genocide on April 24.

During her eight-day trip, Kardashian plans to work on a documentary film about the mass killings, the organizer of the trip said.

She is to visit the genocide memorial in the Armenian capital Yerevan, and Armenia's National Archives to see documents about her ancestors. She is then to travel to the provincial city of Gyumri where her distant relatives reside.

Armenians say up to 1.5 million of their kin were killed between 1915 and 1917 as the Ottoman Empire was falling apart and have long sought to win international recognition of the massacres as genocide.

Turkey rejects the claims arguing that 300,000 to 500,000 Armenians and as many Turks died in civil strife when Armenians rose up against their Ottoman rulers and sided with invading Russian troops
