Nara was not a chess player. She just worked there.

Nara invited me to her home and I met her brother.

During the 1996 World Chess Olympiad in Yerevan, a man named Manukian was running for President of Armenia. He lost to Petrosian. I wonder if he might be a relative of Nara, or perhaps even the brother I met in 1977. (The brother was decidedly Anti-Soviet.)
