I don't think the problem is so much with the lack of native alphabets, also it is a big issue. The problems I think are:
a. Poverty and the lack of resourses invested into studying.
b. Absence of "scientific nationalism", i.e. people interested in researching the local history rather than in arguing who has more rights on Prigorodny region.
c. Extreme historical agressiveness of neighbors. We have Iran investing 320 mln $ every year in improving its image, big chunk of it goes into publishing "right" historical books. No Albanian alphabet or language there; only arranis.
