After the collapse of USSR and declaration of independence the Republic of Armenia faced critical social - economical reorganizations. Neither soviet legal nor state institutional system were capable to go on with such changes any more, thus the need for legal – institutional reforms became an emergency.
The adoption of RA Constitution in 1995 and the subsequent amendments of it in 2005, where inter alia the principle of the separation and balance of the legislative, executive and judicial powers was stated and the priority of human rights and dignity was declared, plus huge pressure made by international obligations coming from RA’s membership in different international organizations (treaties) started “the era of profound reforms” in Armenia.
