"Buzkashi" or "Kokpar" is the Central Asian sport played amongst Afghans, Kazakhs, Uzbeks, Hazaras, Tajiks, Kyrgyz, and Turkmens. Kyrgyz Turks, who migrated from the Pamir region to the village of Ulupamir in the eastern Turkish province of Van, keep the tradition alive by playing Buzkashi on special days such as weddings.

The game of Buzkashi is literally translated as "goat grabbing." In the game, the headless carcass of a calf or goat is placed in the center of the field and the players of two opposing teams try to get hold of the carcass and carry it to the goal area. AA Photo
