As a man of wealth he was engaged in charity. In 1918-1920 yy. he provided support and assistance to the refugees who fled to the Erivan province (Nowadays Yerevan Armenia).

Though some communist did consider Chingiz aga to be a secret an enemy of the Soviet power the punitive bodies dared not arrest him because of his high respect among the refugees and the local poor.
