Najafov, who voluntarily went to the front and fought for the homeland since the beginning of the war, congratulated the people of Azerbaijan on the victory:
 
"I congratulate our people, including the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, on the great victory we won in the Great Patriotic War! I bow to the souls of every soldier and officer who died heroically in achieving this victory! I kiss the hands of the parents of our martyrs!
 
I am proud of every child of our nation, who united under the slogan "everything for the front" and stood by our army with immeasurable enthusiasm in achieving a historic victory!
 
May love be with the victorious people of Azerbaijan! ”
