Kim and Khloe Kardashian met with Armenian Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamyan on Thursday as a part of their ancestral homeland tour.

The sisters were greeted be hoards of screaming fans in Yerevan as they made their way to the government building, and Kim tweeted yesterday, "We're so grateful to be here & start this journey of a lifetime! Thank u everyone who greeted us ... I can't wait to explore our country and have some yummy food! My husband and daughter came to Armenia as well to see my heritage and learn about my ancestors! My cousins came along too! So excited I can't sleep."

Though the Kardashians have not commented on the anniversary of the genocide, which takes place on April 24, the government said in a statement, "The Kardashians apologized for not speaking Armenian but said they are learning their native language ... They pledged to continue the struggle for international recognition and condemnation of the Armenian genocide."

The Kardashians plan to visit the town of Gyumri, where relatives of her dad reportedly live, and they will also stop by the genocide memorial in Yerevan and Armenia's National Archives to see documents about her ancestors. Kim and Khloe are being followed around by a camera crew, but it's not clear if this footage will air on Keeping Up With The Kardashians or if it will be part of a separate documentary.
