Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe
(OSCE).
[3]
On April 8, 1992, Bahmanov was appointed the Head of Executive Power of Shusha.

Since Shusha was the city with majority Azerbaijani population, its executive officer was chosen to represent the whole Azerbaijani community of Karabakh. He subsequently represented the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno-Karabakh region in peace talks held by
OSCE Minsk Group
. The status of the
Azerbaijani Community of Nagorno-Karabakh
Social Union, co-founded by Nizami Bahmanov, member of

He was also a member of
State Commission on POWs, Missing and Citizens taken hostage
.

As the leader of Azerbaijani community of Karabakh, he believed public diplomacy between Azerbaijan and Armenia would not yield any substantial results and that only after the return of Azerbaijani community to their homes in Karabakh would resolve its final status.
