Sputnik — Pashinyan Invites Renowned US Economist to Restore Armenia’s Economy

Prominent US Economist Daron Acemoglu, the professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has agreed to provide his assistance in restoring Armenia’s economy after the country was hit with a wave of anti-government protests, newly-elected Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said on Sunday.
“I just had a phone conversation with widely known economist of Armenian origin Daren Acemoglu. He said that he is ready to help Armenia in the issue of restoring and developing the economy. Mr.Acemoglu has accepted the invitation to visit Armenia,” Pashinyan wrote on Facebook.
Heaven help them. Just kidding.

Daren Acemoglu is a decent choice if the choice is among prominent Western developmental economists. They could do a lot worse.

He is a New Institutionalist. And both parents are Armenian even though he was born in Istanbul.
