He belonged to the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan in 1919 was foreign minister of his country since 1919, Azerbaijani ambassador to Turkey.

He wrote novels, among others fountain of girls ( 1934) and in blood ( 1936-37 ).

In Azerbaijan and Turkey, he is regarded as the author of the famous novel Ali and Nino ( in Europe it is mainly of authorship Lev Nussimbaum off), which first appeared in Vienna in 1937 under the pseudonym Kurban Said in German language. Although this pseudonym used also Nussimbaum, but there are indications that the work of Çəmənzəminli was written.

Ali and Nino is both a beautiful and tragic love story, as well as a history of the Republic of Azerbaijan and a passionate declaration of love for the country and its people, even if the author is very much like self-critical. The book also shows " insider knowledge " on the activities of the Azerbaijani government. Too, points out that this book could be rather than written by the statesman and Azerbaijanis Çəmənzəminli from Nussimbaum because Nussimbaum 1918, when the Republic of Azerbaijan was established, only 13 years old and was also later had hardly a reference to Azerbaijan.
