"We Are Our Mountains" (Armenian: Մենք ենք մեր սարերը) by Sargis Baghdasaryan is a monument located in Stepanakert.[1] The sculpture is widely regarded as a symbol of the de facto independent Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. It is a large monument from tuff of an old Armenian man and woman hewn from rock, representing the mountain people of Karabagh.

It is also known as "Tatik yev Papik" (Տատիկ և Պապիկ) in Eastern Armenian and "Mamig yev Babig" (Մամիկ եւ Պապիկ) in Western Armenian.

Stepanakert is the capital city of Nagorno-Karabakh.

The sculpture is featured prominently on Nagorno-Karabakh's coat of arms.
