The coat of arms of the Republic of Artsakh consists of an eagle above which is an ornamented crown. On the chest of the eagle is a shield with a panorama of a mountain range and under it a vertically set Flag of the Republic of Artsakh. Over this are the two stone heads of "Granny and Gramps" (Տատիկ և Պապիկ, Tatik yev Papik) from the We Are Our Mountains monument in Stepanakert, the capital of Artsakh. The eagle's feet clutch various agricultural products including wheat and grapes. The outer rim is made up of a golden circular ribbon bearing inscription "Լեռնային Ղարաբաղի Հանրապետություն-Արցախ, Lerrnayin Gharabaghi Hanrapetut’yun-Arts’akh" ("Artsakh Republic of Mountainous Karabakh") in Armenian.[1]
The coat of arms was adopted by the decision of the Supreme Council of the Republic on 17 November 1992, and is regulated by the "Charter on the State Coat of Arms of the NKR".[2]
Following an Azerbaijani offensive on 19 September 2023, Artsakh agreed to dissolve itself by 1 January 2024.[3] However, in October, the government of Artsakh established a government-in-exile in Yerevan.[4] Whilst in exile, they repealed the decree which would dissolve Artsakh's institutions on 22 December 2023.[5][6]
