Մենք ենք մեր լեռները


We Are Our Mountains is a large monument north of Stepanakert (Khankendi) in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh in Azerbaijan. It is known colloquially as tatik-papik (տատիկ-պապիկ) in Armenian  which translates as "Grandmother and Grandfather".

The sculpture is widely regarded as a symbol of the Armenian heritage of Nagorno-Karabakh, and even Armenian identity as a whole. 

I got this postcard, actually, from Georgia (inside this envelope).
