In 2012 she published her first book, "Nowhere, a Story of Exile". It was based on a childhood diary she kept while her family faced the ethnic violence in Baku during the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. She began translating the entries into English at the age of 14. She also described their lives as refugees in Armenia after they escaped Baku. Her book was a first-person account of the anti-Armenianism in Azerbaijan and the Baku pogrom against Armenians.
