NAJARIANS AGAIN FIND THEMSELVES IN ARMENIAN COURT PROCRASTINATION

K.George Najarian and Carolann Najarian, M.D. well-known philanthropists, are being sued in a civil case by Grigor Igityan, the man convicted of swindling them of both property and money. Igityan was convicted on all counts in the criminal courts after more than 8 years of hearings, trials, and appeals up to the highest court in Armenia, and is now serving out his prison sentence in an Armenian jail.
From jail, Igityan has instituted a civil case through the Kentron Court of First Intention, Yerevan, against the Najarians. He is claiming damages for financial losses he supposedly sustained due to being tried and convicted for crimes he committed. In addition to the court case, Najarian's properties have been attached by the court. This is unprecedented in legal practice not only in Armenia, but elsewhere.
According to Najarian's attorneys in Armenia, all demands made in Igityan's claim have been resolved through multiple court decisions in the criminal case brought against him. The evidence to substantiate these decisions against Igityan who was found guilty of knowingly swindling the Najarians, has been confirmed up to the highest court in Armenia. These decisions remain in force, thus it is shocking that the lower court has agreed to hear the case and has attached their properties.
