Execution Papers in Onik Gasparyan's Case Do Not Imply Enforcement

The Enforcement Service has released a statement announcing that the execution papers in the case of Onik Gasparyan do not imply mandatory enforcement. This was confirmed by the Enforcement Service itself.

"Considering the public interest regarding the proceedings of execution papers received by the Enforcement Service, related to the administrative case number VD/2014/05/21 involving Onik Gasparyan, as well as numerous journalistic inquiries, the Enforcement Service informs that these execution papers have been returned to the administrative court by the enforcement officer's decision dated March 19, 2021, as they do not imply mandatory enforcement and do not contain the executable part of the court decision's concluding section; thus, they do not meet the requirements set forth in Article 21, Part 1 of the RA Law on the Enforcement of Judicial Acts," the statement reads.

In order to eliminate any further speculation, the Service clarifies that the existence or absence of any legal relationship or fact recognized by a court decision does not in itself imply enforcement, unless the issued execution paper includes a stipulation obligating the debtor to perform certain actions or refrain from certain actions. The RA Law on the Enforcement of Judicial Acts does not provide for enforcement measures concerning the recognition of the existence or absence of legal relationships by execution papers," the announcement further states.
