Ali Asadov to Become New Prime Minister of Azerbaijan
Baku / 08.10.19 / Turan: The agenda of today's meeting of the Milli Majlis includes, among others, the issue of confirming Ali Asadov to the post of Prime Minister. This was reported by sources in the country's parliament.
To this day, Asadov has been an assistant to the head of state on economic issues. It is noteworthy that there is still no decree on the release of Novruz Mammadov from the post of Prime Minister.

He began work at the State Planning Commission of Azerbaijan, at the Institute of Economics of the Academy of Sciences. In 1989-1995 he was an assistant professor and head of the department of the Institute of Political Science and Social Management.
