She then worked in the Institute of Petrochemical Processes of Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences as a laboratory assistant and later became the head of the laboratory.

In 2004, regarding the 30-year prison sentence of Ramil Safarov, she stated that Safarov's punishment was too harsh and that "Safarov must become an example of patriotism for the Azerbaijani youth".[7][8]
