cher definitely has the Armenian features. Especially back in the 70s! the dark long hair, larger nose, high cheekbones, larger eyes and lashes.
But with aging and media, she tampered with her face as most of the rich and famous do.

cher has repeatedly said that all claims of her being part-cherokee are false.

I think you can also see the Armenian in her. She looks similar to Kim Kardashian who is also half Armenian.

they did surgery to look like all the other celebs!

Armenians have dark features, high cheekbones, hook noses, oilve skin, big and dark eyes!
They both have similar features, but with all the money, keep poking at themselves!
