As for the reason why the appointment is delayed by 3 months, this was upon the Turkish-Armenian economist&#8217;s request, so that he may complete one of his works, reports local daily Azg (&#8220;Nation&#8221;).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I understand him. I too have been in his situation: being forced to postpone my personally authored works indefinitely,&#8221; said Davutoglu.<\/p>\n<p>Turkey&#8217;s foreign minister did not name the ambassador, but it is known that the individual is a MIT professor, he is well-known in the sector and he has participated on a few occasions in international conferences related to Turkey&#8217;s economy.<\/p>\n<p>According to Turkey&#8217;s Armenian community, the man in question is prominent economist, Professor of Applied Economics at MIT Daron Acemo\u011flu.
