Hidayat, who headed the Azerbaijan Drama Theater in Yerevan for sixteen years while living in Yerevan, is considered the native author of this theater. That is why the creative team of the Yerevan State Azerbaijan Drama Theater named after Jafar Jabbarli presents the two-part historical-chronological drama of the poet-dramatist Hidayat "A thousand horsemen passed by here" from time to time with great honor. The play, which premiered on the stages of the Azerbaijan State Academic National Drama Theater (December 2, 2014) and the Azerbaijan State Musical Theater (December 8, 2014), reflects the sharp and uncompromising position of the Great Leader Heydar Aliyev against the actions of those who pursued a secret policy to ignite conflicts in the Caucasus in the late twentieth century, as well as the intense struggle of Western Azerbaijanis against Armenian chauvinists and extremists. The events of the play cover a period from 1968 to the present day.

"Let's face the deeper layers of history. Let's face the great lands we call Yerevan. At that time, the Soviet flag was still on the Armenian head. Armenian chauvinism was still in its infancy. But what is important for us is the intellectual struggle of our compatriots living in those great lands against the Armenian chauvinists ... ”the author draws attention to the fact that the Great Leader of the Azerbaijani people Heydar Aliyev stood at the forefront of this struggle.
The play, prepared by the state order, was directed by the chief director of the Sumgayit State Musical Drama Theater named after H.Arablinsky, People's Artist Firudin Maharramov. The scales given by the director are very precisely aimed at revealing the idea of the work. The director's handwriting, the director's thinking, the idea are clearly felt in every point of the play, in all moments of the acting. It should be noted that the actors of the Yerevan, Young Spectators, Shusha and Sumgayit theaters create memorable images in the play.

The image of Heydar Aliyev in his performance opens the way to hearts with its grandeur. The actor presents the Great Leader's gait, posture, mannerisms, hand movements, tone of voice, pauses in speech, facial expressions, details of gestures, words and expressions with very subtle and precise strokes.

The Great Leader's telephone conversations with Kochinyan, his subsequent meetings in Gazakh and Dilijan on the border, Kochinyan's secret talks on Karabakh in the following years, his wise exposure of Suslov in the dialogue with Suslov, his courageous speech against Ligachev, and finally, the author's advise to our people in the final to protect our territorial integrity indicate the goal of high citizenship. Professional actors of our theaters showed their skills to the maximum in the performance. The troupe of honored actors, who skillfully created the artistic images of the Armenian nationalists, demonstrated their talents in several complex ways on alternating stages.
Artistic design also has a special place in the success of the play.

And this, as if to include the audience in the events as well, brings to life the reality.
