Turkish President watches performance featuring Karabakh horses

The 7th Ethnosport Culture Festival is underway in Istanbul.

Each day of the festival highlights the unity of the Turkic world and its shared cultural heritage for participants and visitors alike.

On May 24, a special segment of the festival featured a spectacular performance titled “Victory”, presented by the Azerbaijani delegation and attended by President of the Republic of Türkiye Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and First Lady Emine Erdoğan.

Organized by the Equestrian Federation of Azerbaijan, the performance involved a 130-member delegation and 20 Karabakh horses. The show celebrated ancient Turkic traditions, Azerbaijani national music and dance, and showcased the elegance and skill of the Karabakh horses on stage.

The program vividly portrayed the equestrian culture, horsemanship, and national spirit shared across the Turkic world. It drew strong interest from the President and First Lady of Türkiye and concluded with a standing ovation from the audience.

The Azerbaijani delegation is scheduled to perform again on May 25, marking the conclusion of the 7th Ethnosport Culture Festival.
