Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study and analyze the place of subsoil use law in the legal system of the Republic of Armenia, the features of legal regulation of subsoil use relations and the composition of main subjects of subsoil use relations. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the legislation regulating the sphere of subsoil use law in the Republic of Armenia needs systemic reforms, as evidenced by the adoption by the Government of The Mineral Sector Development Strategy of Armenia. Despite this, a systematic and comprehensive study of the legal nature of relations in the field of subsoil use has not been conducted in the domestic literature to date: only certain issues of a private nature in this area have been studied. In the course of the study, the task was set to study and analyze the history of the development of subsoil use law in various legal systems, the place of subsoil use law in the legal system of the Republic of Armenia, the specifics of regulation and the composition of subjects involved in subsoil use relations. This work's methodological basis consists of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction) and special (dogmatic, comparative legal) methods. Based on the research conducted within the framework of this work, the author concluded that the subsoil use law is an independent branch of the RA legal system, and the RA Subsoil Code is subject to reforms in terms of sectoral principles guaranteeing the protection of the interests of the subsoil user and legal norms ensuring their application. Additionally, the community should be considered as a subject of subsoil use law.
