Abstract
Since Armenia proclaimed independence in 1991, two rounds of attempts have been made to come closer to the European standards in the areas of the rule of law and the judiciary. In 1995, the adoption of Armenia’s new Constitution marked the creation of a three-tier system of courts of general jurisdiction, as well as the Constitutional Court. The 1995 Constitution suffered from a lack of the balance of powers and essentially created a super-presidential system under the cover of a semipresidential republic.
This chapter reflects the legal framework as of September 2010.
