"The fact that the final day of the festival is held on November 8 is a special moment. This is the Victory Day. We wanted to contribute to this day, as much as we can."

"Only the horses of national breed - Qarabag and Dilbaz horses will be in the competition. 3 games will be held on the first and second day of the event.
