Yesterday, festive events dedicated to the Turkmen Horse Day were held in the administration center of Lebap velayat with participation of members of the government, the leadership of the Mejlis, representatives of ministries, agencies and the media.
In the Lebap library, the invited visitors were presented books by the Head of State, the main characters of which are Akhalteke horses. One of them titled "Horse - a symbol of loyalty and happiness" was published in foreign languages - German, Arabic and Turkish. The presentation was attended by diplomatic ambassadors from these countries: N. Hefer-Wissing (FRG), T. Oral (Turkey), representative of the UAE Embassy A. Al Hashemi. They noted that thanks to this publication their nations will be able to familiarize themselves with the history of Akhalteke breeding and thus the Akhalteke breed will become more popular in the world.
The library also hosted an exhibition of this year's archaeological finds from the Akhal and Lebap velayats.
After the presentation, the guests went to the Lebap velayat equestrian complex, where the opening of the races and the festive races of professional riders took place.
