"We Are Our Mountains" (Template:Lang-hy) is a large monument located in Stepanakert (aka Khankendi in Azerbaijani). Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azerbaijani enclave currently under Armenian occupation.
The sculpture, completed in 1967, by Sargis Baghdasaryan, is widely regarded as a symbol of Nagorno-Karabakh. The monument is made from volcanic tufa, and depicts an old man and woman hewn from rock, representing the mountain people of Karabakh.
It is also known as "Biz- Daglarimiziq" in Azerbaijani, and "Tatik yev Papik" (Տատիկ և Պապիկ) in Eastern Armenian and "Mamig yev Babig" (Մամիկ եւ Պապիկ) in Western Armenian.
The sculpture is featured prominently on Nagorno-Karabakh's coat of arms.
