In the article, the author discussed the concept of a subsoil use contract, the legislative regulation issues and characteristics of contractual relations in subsoil use, directions for the development of legislation in this context, as well as the elements of a subsoil use contract.

As a result of studying the RA Subsoil Code, the author concluded that under the current domestic legal regulations, the term «subsoil use contract» is used as a collective concept for all contracts concluded for the purpose of granting the right to use subsoil and does not have an independent meaning.

Based on the study of the essential terms of subsoil use contracts, the author identified the common essential terms that apply to all such contracts. The peculiarities of systematizing the essential terms of subsoil use contracts by law, as well as defining essential terms specific to particular types of subsoil use contracts were also addressed. Furthermore, the author examined the legal significance of the terms comprising the content of subsoil use contracts, as approved by the annexes to the RA Government Decision No. 437-N of March 22, 2022.

The author proposed to unify the legal norms regulating contractual relations in the field of subsoil use under the RA Subsoil Code by including a separate chapter dedicated to contracts concluded in the subsoil use sector, and to systematize the essential terms of subsoil use contracts based on the analysis presented in the study.

The right of reproduction constitutes one of the most fundamental and central rights within the framework of copyright and related rights. Technological advancements in the digital age have significantly transformed both the practical application and interpretative approaches to this right. Contemporary technologies allow for the reproduction of copyright-protected works and performances in a wide array of formats and through various means—often enabling the creation of an almost unlimited number of copies within mere seconds.

In this context, and considering the challenges posed by the digital environment, the article seeks to analyze the exceptions to the right of reproduction, namely, the acts of temporary and transient reproduction that do not require authorization from the rights holder. Given the absence of any interpretative guidance on these exceptions within Armenian legal practice, the analysis relies on the provisions of Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonization of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society, as well as on the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). This approach is particularly relevant since Armenian legislation reflects the terminology and legal concepts set forth in the Directive with respect to the right of reproduction.

The article identifies and examines the interpretative criteria developed by the CJEU concerning temporary and transient acts of reproduction, which may serve as valuable guidance for the Armenian legal system in adopting a contemporary interpretation of the right of reproduction.

After the abolition of the Bagratid kingdom in the first half of the 12th century, the eastern edge of Armenia became more independent politically, which dictated the need to create national legislation. The first to undertake this task was David’s son Alavki, who created a major monument of legal thought, which, although not officially approved by the state authorities of the time, was used in Armenian communities by both the clergy and community officials to regulate various legal issues.

The historical significance of David’s Rules lies in the fact that the first attempt at codification of legislation in Armenian reality was made, in which a number of progressive solutions for the time were given to issues arising in the fields of civil, criminal, labor relations and spiritual life.

The very fact that 44 years after the death of David’s son Alavka (1140), M. Gosh began writing his famous “Code of Laws”, a number of provisions of which were literally borrowed from David’s “Code of Laws”, proves not only that he had David’s works at hand, but also that this work was to be used within Armenia, in particular in its eastern region - in Artsakh and Utik.

This scientific article aims to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the theoretical and methodological foundations of legal principles, their systemic nature, and functional significance within the structure of law. The principle of law is examined not only as a normative guiding idea but also as an axiological expression of legal culture.

The article presents legal principles as autonomous legal phenomena that constitute the foundation of the normative structure and contribute to legal certainty, predictability, and the systematization of legal policy. The co-authors highlight the regulatory and protective functions of legal principles, analyzing their role both in the processes of law-making and law enforcement, as well as within the domains of public and private law.

A comparative analysis is also provided to identify the universal nature of legal principles and their role in the context of national legal regulation.

Analysis of the main models of Western European parliamentarism and the practice of their development shows that the structure of power in them has its own characteristics, since it is adapted to the socio-political conditions in each specific case. At the same time, it should be noted that parliamentarism is universally based on those constitutional provisions that enshrine the principle of separation of powers, mechanisms of checks and balances, freedom of activity of various political parties. At the same time, this political institution cannot function effectively if a social structure and civil society characterized by a high legal and political culture of the population are not formed. The parliament symbolizes and implements the political representation of the national state or, what is the same, the nation-state, accepts the oath of the head of state, expresses confidence in the government on behalf of the sovereign people and transfers powers to it; makes statements on international and domestic political issues; etc. The author of the article believes that it is the specifics of the relationship between the representative and executive powers that form the basis of the classification of parliaments (chambers) presented in this article: dominant, autonomous, with limited jurisdiction, and subordinate.
