Despite the fact that the legislation of the Republic of Armenia enshrines the category of legal entities of public law, only communities and inter-community associations have such a status. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that the legal consolidation of the category of legal entities of public law in the legislation of the Republic of Armenia should also lead to a more complete definition of their types. Based on the legal regulations in force in the Republic of Armenia and abroad and the works of a number of legal scholars, it has been substantiated that the Central Bank of the Republic of Armenia should be a legal entity of public law, since the provisions of civil legislation do not apply to its establishment, it has administrative powers, has public legal personality, and also participates in civil law relations as a legal entity. In addition, it has been substantiated that legal entities of public law should be budgetary institutions through which the state and the community provide public services, as well as non-profit organizations established and controlled by public-law formations (state non-profit organizations, foundations established by the state or the central bank, etc.), as well as self-regulatory organizations operating on the basis of the principle of mandatory membership (professional unions), since the study conducted indicates that non-profit organizations established by the state or community on the basis of separate legal acts, as well as professional unions that are not established on the basis of voluntariness, independence and cannot be identified with private law legal entities based on the principles of dispositivity.
