Turkish social media users have lashed out at US reality television star of Armenian origin Kim Kardashian for describing lahmacun as "Armenian pizza" on social media, english.alaraby.co.uk reports.
"Who knows about lahmacun? This is our Armenian pizza," the American model, businesswoman and actress said in a video posted on Thursday on her Instagram.
"My dad would always put string cheese on it and then put it in the oven and get it really crispy," she added.
Kim Kardashian is a prominent member of the Armenian diaspora. Her late father, Robert Kardashian, was an American lawyer of Armenian heritage.
Social media users in Turkey responded negatively to Kim's claim over the origin of lahmacun, AFP correspondent for Turkey Raziye Akkoc tweeted.
