• Introduction to Orkhon inscriptions: The high-ranking guests viewed replicas of the ancient Orkhon inscriptions, considered the most important written monuments of the Turkic language family and the history of statehood, with great interest;

• National games and archers' competition: The square hosted national sports games, warriors in ancient combat attire, and the combat skills of skilled archers;

• Oak saplings as a symbol of the future: During the ceremony, the heads of state planted young oak saplings in the park as a symbol of unity, strong brotherhood, and centuries-old friendship.

Epic equestrian performance at the "Malazgirt" center

The next part of the program continued at the "Malazgirt" center, named in honor of the historic battle on August 26, 1071, which was a turning point in the history of the Turkic world:

• Memory of the historical battle: The Battle of Malazgirt is considered the most important historical event that opened the gates of Anatolia and began a new chapter for Turkic civilization in the region;

• Amazing stunt and equestrian art: At the center, an epic theatrical performance of astonishing quality was presented for the high-ranking guests, featuring the finest thoroughbred horses brought from OTS countries, skilled riders, acrobats, and professional stunt performers.
