Having no Azeri oil and Georgian transit corridor, Armenia still
has a number of resources that allow it to successfully develop,
Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan says in an interview to
Hayastani Hanarapetoutyun daily.

He says that Armenia has internal resources, which it does not yet
use in full. The first resource is developing democracy, conducting
political reforms, fighting corruption, restoring mutual confidence
between the state and the people, creating equal economic opportunities
for all. The second resource is Diaspora. Here too Armenia has much to
do yet, first of all, it must adopt a law on dual citizenship. Oskanyan
hopes that this problem will be resolved very soon. The third resource
is the international resource – investments.

The stabler Armenia the bigger foreign investing, says Oskanyan.
