| Summary | "The Armenians" by C. F. Dixon-Johnson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves deeply into the history, ethnology, and political dynamics surrounding the Armenian population, focusing on their interactions with various communities, particularly the Turks and Kurds. In this exploration, Dixon-Johnson presents the complexities of the so-called "Armenian Question," challenging prevailing narratives about the Armenians' victimization and the roles played by both sides in the conflicts. The opening of the book sets the tone for a detailed examination of Armenia's history, going back to ancient times. It discusses the various tribes that populated the region and provides a brief overview of their social and political structures. Key historical figures such as Tiridates and St. Gregory are introduced, highlighting their contributions to the establishment of Christianity in Armenia. As the narrative unfolds, Dixon-Johnson raises questions about the Armenian identity, the influences of external powers, and the historical grievances that have shaped contemporary views on the Armenia-Turkey relationship. The author seems intent on unpacking historical assumptions, aiming to provide a nuanced perspective that suggests both Armenian and Turkish communities share responsibility for their fraught relationship.
