Nvair’s relationship with the Armenian Film Foundation began in the early 1990s when Dr. J. Michael Hagopian interviewed her maternal grandfather, Anoush Krikorian, a Survivor of the Armenian Genocide from Akhlat, Bitlis. This interview is now one of the 400 Armenian Genocide Visual Testimonies in the USC Shoah Foundation Collection. Many of the songs Nvair has recorded, she learned from him. It is through this link that Nvair has initiated fundraising events in support of such projects.
