ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that "Factors in the Pre-Islamic Armenian Condition" is that the manners in which Armenians interacted with cultural and political Islam were shaped by factors already active in the previous centuries. It observes that the twenty-four canons of the Council of Gangra summarized and anticipated what can be qualified as the core of medieval Armenian dissident ideology. The book discusses "Early Arab Campaigns and the Regulation of Relations According to the Medinan Legacy," the Arab Period in Arminyah lasted four and not two and a half centuries, as generally accepted by historians of Armenia. It also discusses the Islamic states respected the clergy, places of worship, and monasteries. The book concerns the regulation of Armenian–Islamic relations through agreements that were described as peace treatises, oaths and compacts.
