The RA Ombudsman has sent letters to the RA President and the
head of the Courts Council where she has referred to several court
decisions about confiscating the property of the citizens by the
programs of Yerevan reconstruction. According to the decisions,
the owners are obliged to sign a contract with the customer for
the money he offers. By the same decision the owner, the enumerated
people registered in the area and “other people occupying the area”
are to be evicted.

Mentioning that the “other” people occupying the area must be evicted,
the Court does not mention who these people are – deprived of the
right of the court protection, who cannot participate in the trial.

For example, by the certificate given by the RA Civic Issues Court of
Appeal, on May 1 owners Edward, Rudolf, and Angela Mouradyans, Sergey,
Magdalena and Nelly Asoyans, as well as refugees Emma Aghajanyan and
his two teenage children have been evicted from the house in Buzand
23 as “other” people.

The RA Ombudsman mentions that Emma Aghajanyan has not participated
in the trial and her name is not mentioned in the court decision,
but she and her sons have forcefully been evicted from the house as
“other people”.

As far as suchlike decisions tend to repeat, the Ombudsman has
suggested that the Courts Council should make the issue subject for
special discussion and evaluate suchlike decisions.
