Was Munir Bashir Armenian?

I know that Munir Bashir was Assyrian, but someone recently told me that his mother was Armenian. Does anyone know anything about this, or know of any sources that could back that claim up?

I'm asking because I'm interested in Armenian musicians within the diaspora. Regardless, I love his music!
