Media Model organizes and implements the full land acquisition and resettlement process for properties subject to acquisition for overriding public interest, in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Armenia and applicable international policies and standards.
Our work covers the entire implementation cycle — from notifications, negotiations, and the preparation of acquisition contracts and compensation agreements to legal and documentation support, cadastral and notarial procedures, state registration, and, where required, the initiation and management of judicial acquisition proceedings.
Throughout the process, we work directly with affected persons and coordinate closely with the relevant state authorities and local governments, supporting each case through to completion.
