CIVILIZATIONAL FOUNDATIONS OF ARMENIA AND MODERN CHALLENGES
Yerevan, “Gitutyun” publishing house, 2019, 240 p. + 9 p. pictures and maps.
This book which is written on a vast array of primary and secondary sources, is an overview of the long history of Armenian civilization. It focuses on three crucial aspects of that extraordinary civilization: 1 - Where, when and how it originated in the ancient Armenian Highland; 2 - The fundamental characteristics of Armenian civilization as shown particularly in the time of Tigranes the Great and in subsequent centuries; 3 - How this civilization became enmeshed in the Turkish state machine in the modern era, culminating in the horrific Genocide of 1915-22.
