By contrast, in Turkey, judgments are enforced through a separate execution office. The prevailing party does not need to retain an attorney to seek enforcement; they need only file a certified copy of the court’s decision. The execution office serves the opposing party with notice that enforcement is being sought. The prevailing party may seek enforcement even if the judgment is not yet final. The judgment debtor may seek a stay of enforcement but must post security of a sum that will cover the judgment.
