Αρμενικής καταγωγής, αλλα εχει μια θεση εδω, μιας και ολα του τα χρονια εζησε και συνεργάστηκε με Έλληνες μουσικούς της διασποράς.

Ε ναι. Στη δικιά μου τουλάχιστον αντίληψη είναι ξεκάθαρα Έλληνας μουσικός, όπως και η Ρόζα, ο Τομπούλης κ.ά. Το αν στην υπόλοιπη ζωή τους πέρα από τη μουσική ήταν Έλληνες ή Αρμένηδες, Εβραίοι κλπ. είναι άλλο θέμα.
