    Turkish citizen of Armenian origin, economist Daron Achemoglu may
    in the near future be awarded a Nobel Prize, Turkish daily Milliyet
    reported, citing Bloomberg.

    Ankara takes great interest in Daron Achemoglu, currently based in US,
    and would like him to assume a significant role in Turkey's economy,
    the paper added.

    For that reason, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has
    invited the well-known economist to live and work in Turkey.

    Recently Achemoglu was included in the list of Top 100 Global Thinkers,
    prepared by the US Foreign Policy magazine.

    Daron Achemoglu was born in 1967 in Istanbul. In 1986 he graduated
    from the local Galatasaray College. Later he studied at the Department
    of Economics at the York University in England where he lectured
    from 1992-1993.

    Since 1993 he is lecturing at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    in US.

    Achemoglu is ranked number 8 in the list of the world's most cited
    20 economists, prepared by IDEAS/RePec, while Nobel Prize laureate
    Professor Paul Krugman is number 13 in the list.
