This clip shows Iraqi Oud master Munir Bashir (1930-1997)and his son Omar Bashir playing in the Arabic scale of Rast. Munir Bashir had a doctorate in musicology from Budapest, and was in constant rebellion against the misinterpretation of this music and it's use for commercial ends. He has been credited with restoring credentials to a music that has become debased through bending to the tasters of colonial nostalgia.

You are technically right. I have not checked the family of the other oudists. Have you. To be born in the culture of Turkey is enough . They were not raised in Armenia. Have you thought of the effect Turkish occupation of the Middle East for 100's of years had on the culture from the coffee to the taksims. I think we are lucky to have heard these men. I had the fortune to hear the two I mentioned in person. Hrant at a benefit for a Turkish soccer team. Melkon at a party.. Go with God.
