"Ancient Iranian game Polo has been famous also in Armenia and India,"
the executive director of the IRI Cultural heritage office Fahrad
Nazari has told to IRNA Iranian news agency.
Recently the Hamzeh Ilhani Zadeh, the chairman of IRI polo federation
had reported that after the attempt of appropriating the name of
Iranian poet Nizami Gyanjavi the Azerbaijani try to do the same with
the ancient Iranian game polo and for this reason have already applied
officially to UNESCO.
Fahrad Nazari touched upon the above mentioned fact and stated that
the ancient Iranian game Polo was spread both in Armenian and in India
and added, "Azerbaijan has presented the game Polo to UNESCO with
the following formation, "Polo is local game of Nagorno Karabakh":
that is to say Azerbaijan has formed the application so as if Polo
has been a game peculiar for Nagorno Karabakh region and it has then
been spread to other regions as well."
There are many disagreements between the Iranian and Azerbaijani
relations recently. According to Iranian side, Azerbaijan presents
not only the poet Nizami Gyanjavi as an Azerbaijani but also the
musical instruments as well as polo sport game. All these cause
dissatisfaction among the Iranian authorities and artists.
Polo is a group sport game which is played with rods and balls. The
participants are horsemen who are divided into two groups and who
try to conquer the gates of the rival by the help of special rods
and a ball.
