However, the atmosphere in the square was tense, with soldiers, police motorcycles, and security personnel present. A line of cavalry soldiers stood in a row, looking strong and capable of fighting on horseback.

The military parade began, transforming the square into a different place. The ceremony was part of an official welcome for President Emomali Rahmon of Tajikistan, who was visiting Mongolia as a state guest.
