Political career

Hasanov supervises provision of newly built housing for Azerbaijani refugees and IDPs and often travels to regions of Azerbaijan where the refugees had been settled after the Nagorno-Karabakh War.[2] The scope of activity of the State Committee of Republic of Azerbaijan for Refugees and IDPs was enhanced by the former President of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev in September 1998 with the purpose of bettering the social conditions of the refugees and Ali Hasanov was appointed the chairman of the committee.[3]

As the chairman of the committee, Hasanov supervises large amounts of funding spent by the government and international organizations for needs of refugees. According to the chairman, $1.3 billion from the state budget, $850 million from the State Oil Fund of Azerbaijan and $738 million from international organizations was allocated in 2008.[4]
