EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Tranche 2 of the North-South Road Corridor Investment Program covers Ashtarak-Talin section of
about 42 km of existing M1 highway (km 29+600 - 71+500). The civil works within the framework of the
Tranche 2 require substantial land acquisition and resettlement. The Government of Armenia approved the
Land Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) of Tranche 2 in September 2012.
The Tranche-2 LARP is being implemented by 3 separate subsections. LARP implementation in Subsections
1 and 2 started in October 2012: it was completed in January 2013 in Subsection 1 and in July 2013 - in
Subsection 2. The 3rd Subsection covers 15.068 km (km 31+140 – 46+208) with 4 rural communities:
Agarak, Aghdzq, Ujan and Kosh. LARP implementation in the 3rd Subsection started in April 2013 and
completed in August 2014.
The E o o i De elop e t a d Resea h Ce te EDRC se ed as a I depe de t Mo ito i g Age (IMA) and carried out the external monitoring of the LARP. To that end, desk reviews and field visits were
carried out, project documents were studied, and relevant data was collected and analyzed. In addition,
the following documents were studied: Monthly Progress Report № , as well as Final Report on LARP
Implementation (as of November 2013) of the Implementation Team; Semi-Annual Internal Monitoring
Report (for April-September, 2013) of the PMU; References on LARP implementation Progress of the
PMU. In addition, the IMA conducted Compliance Review Survey utilizing the stratified, random selection
techniques, and used Compliance Review Survey Questionnaire, as face-to-face interview instrument with
AH members, to determine the APs satisfaction.
The present Final Compliance Report summarizes the results and findings of the Compliance
Review/External Monitoring. The Report provides description of external monitoring process and
comparative analysis of the entitlements stipulated under the LARP and results of land acquisition and
delivery of compensations for the 3rd Subsection of the Tranche 2. The Report presents satisfaction of APs,
and draws lessons and recommendations for further improvements.
LARP implementation on Subsection 3 was implemented in 2 stages, the first of which was implemented
during April-September 2013 and the second one was implemented from September 2013 to August
2014. The monitoring results of the LARP implementation of the first stage were summarized by IMA in
No e e i P eli i a Co plia e Repo t fo “u se tio . As pe the esults of o ito i g of the mentioned stage: (i) the list of Corrective Measures to be implemented by PIU was defined (ii) the
Action Plan for lands in-process of acquisition for Subsection 3 was developed.
This Report summarizes the results and findings of the Compliance Review/External Monitoring of: (i)
LARP implementation on the 3rd Subsection; (ii) LARP implementation for Talin community (km 69+700 –
km 69+710) road PK under the 2nd Subsection; (iii) LARP implementation for cases regulated by the
Action Plan under the 2nd Subsection.
The IMA revealed that compensations for informal tenant in Aghdzq community (1 AH), as well as
compensation to a private land owner in Kosh (1 AH) do not comply with what was envisaged under the
LARP. Moreover, IMA revealed that severe impact allowance was paid to Kosh community, which, again,
does not comply with the LARP requirements.
Under recommended Corrective Measures, the PMU intends to implement the following measures: a)
payment of compensation to the private land owner in Kosh for the loss of wood trees and vineyards, as
well as payment of severe impact allowance, b) payment of compensation to the informal tenant on
Aghdzq community land for the Program severe impact, c) supplemental agreement to be signed with the
Kosh community to receive back the severe impact allowance (see Appendix 12, letter from the PMU
dated September 26, 2014).

As a consequence, based on detailed monitoring and evaluation of the project implementation data and
applied procedures the IMA states that, after the completion of Corrective Measures, LARP
implementation in Subsection 3 (except for the cases subject to regulation under PMU Final Action Plan)
can be considered as compliant with the stipulations of the LARF/ LARP and in adherence of the SPS and
ADB guidelines, and with the satisfaction of the APs. All AHs, who signed contracts, have received cash
compensation. For each AP under the Expropriation process, compensation amounts were lodged with
courts. In accordance with the defined policy and operational procedures, Compensation program for
the 3rd
Subsection (except for the cases subject to regulation under the PMU Action Plan) should be
considered efficiently completed.

I. PROJECT BACKGROUND
1. The Government of Armenia initiated North-South Road Corridor Investment Program (the Program).
North-South road corridor extends for 556 km, starting from Bavra (a neighbouring area of Georgia)
lasting to Gyumri, Talin, Yerevan, Goris and Kapan, and ends in Meghri (next to the border of Iran). The
Asian Development Bank (ADB) agreed to support the RA Government in this initiative. In particular, the
ADB has agreed to provide with a US$ 500 million Multi-Tranche Financing Facility, to finance the
Program. The RA Ministry of Transport and Communication (MOTC) has been assigned to be an
E e uti g Age fo the P og a , a d the No th-“outh Road Co ido I est e t P og a PMU SNCO - I ple e ti g Age .
2. The Program is implemented by separate financial tranches. The Tranche 2 (the T2) of the Program starts
at km 29+600 in Ashtarak and ends at km 71+500 near Talin. The principal goal of the T2 is to build a
4-lane dual carriageway road along the existing M1 highway between the Ashtarak and Talin section of
about 42 km (Km 29+600 - 71+500).
Figure 1: Tranche 2 Project Location
3. Two bypasses will be constructed in Agarak starting at km 29+934 to km 32+600, and in Ujan from km
36+600 to km 40+300. The T2 Project will also have a new road alignment (8.95 kilometres) at Verin
Sasnashen starting from km 59+950 to km 68+900 that will be located on the left side of the existing
highway and re-join the existing alignment near Talin. There are three deviations from the line of the
existing road: one at each of the communities of Agarak and Ujan, which are aimed at improving the
safety of the community by moving the high speed traffic away from the developed existing road; and to
avoid the sensitive archaeological site of Zakari Berd, near the community of Katnaghbyur. T2 includes
the provision of 18 agricultural underpasses of which 8 are 3m high x 5m wide for animals and
pedestrians, and 10 which are 4.5m high x 6m wide for agricultural machinery. The nine grade separated
interchanges provide connection between the new highway and the local roads and communities. Three
of these interchanges comprise over-bridges and the remaining six are underpasses.
4. The Civil works within the framework of the T2 require substantial land acquisition and resettlement,
therefore the T2 P oje t has ee lassified as Catego A for the involuntary resettlement safeguard
ased o ADB’s Ope atio Ma ual OM Section F1/OP (2013)1. The MOTC has prepared Land
Acquisition and Resettlement Plan (LARP) for the T2, which has been approved by the Government of
Armenia in September 2012.
1 As per the ADB Operation Manual (OM) Section F1/OP (2013 a p oje t is lassified as Catego A if or more Affected
Persons suffer significant impacts (relocation or loss of 10% or more of productive assets).

5. The purpose of the LARP is to identify all those who will be affected by the construction of the T2
highway, assess the extent of the affect, and how they will be compensated to ensure that they are not
adversely affe ted o left i a o se situatio tha i a ithout p oje t situatio .
6. According to the LARP the entire impact along the T2 road entails the acquisition of 1,734,144 sq. m of
land in 15 villages and 1 town community that equalled a total of 838 land plots. In total, the T2 affects
536 AHs comprising 2,263 APs (including owners, leaseholders and informal tenants). Among them
severely affected will be 326 AHs, including 324 AHs who will lose more than 10% of their agricultural
land and 2 AHs who will have to be relocated.
7. The Tranche 2 LARP is being implemented subsection by subsection. The 3rd Subsection covers 15.068
km (road sections km 31+140 - 46+208) within 4 rural communities. The scope of LARP impacts of the
3rd Subsection accounts for 47.1 % of total land plots, 37.1 % of total land areas, and 51.1% of total
affected households.

9. The Inception Report of IMA (approved by PMU and ADB) serves as a key methodological base for
implementation of the External Monitoring. The IMA monitored LARP implementation for the 3rd
Subsection in detail and documented its findings in t his Final Compliance Report. The Final Compliance
Report is communicated to PMU (MOTC) and ADB.
II. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF THE COMPLIANCE REPORT
10. The External Monitoring of the LARP for the Tranche 2 of the North-South Road Corridor Investment
Program entails short-term and long-term M&E activities. The short term M&E refers to the LARP
implementation Compliance Review. The long-term M&E refers to the long-run impact of the LARP,
which includes (i) changes in livelihoods of all APs in real terms relative to pre-project levels; (ii) changes
in standards of living of the affected poor and other vulnerable groups. The long-term M&E will be
carried out a year after the LARP completion, to find out whether the rehabilitation objectives of the
LARP were attained or not.
11. The main objective of the Compliance Review is to provide independent assessment of LARP
implementation and impacts mitigation, to verify results of internal monitoring, and to suggest
adjustments of delivery mechanisms and procedures as required. The Compliance Review will indicate
whether the compensation program has been carried out based on the provisions of the LARF/LARP and
ADB policy, and with the satisfaction of the APs.
12. The present Final Compliance Report summarizes the findings from the Compliance Review for the 3rd
Subsection of the Tranche 2. It presents assessment of the implementation and completion of the LARP
for the 3rd Subsection. This Report also summarizes LARP implementation data monitoring for Talin
community (km 69+700 – km 69+710) of T2 2nd Subsection for Private land plots with the following

lot-codes 212-010, 053-015, 213-002 and 058-021; (ii) LARP data monitoring for Talin (216-030), Aruch
(110-014, 112-043), Kaqavadzor (202-119, 203-001, 204-078, 204-160), Shamiram (119-001) and
Voskevaz (102-021) regulated by Action Plan of T2 2nd Subsection.
13. The Report provides description of monitoring process and comparative analysis of the LARP
implementation planned and actual tallies, delivery of compensations and the entitlements stipulated
under the approved LARP and LARF.
14. This Final Compliance Report is a precondition to start of the physical civil works under the 3rd
Subsection of Tranche 2.
III. COMPLIANCE REVIEW METHODOLOGY
15. The methodological basis for the Compliance Review was the approved IMA Inception Report. IMA has
performed the full range of possible activities stipulated by the methodology.
16. The IMA studied the approved LARP, collected and collated necessary information, reviewed the project
related documents (financial and non-financial) and the Internal Monitoring Reports, carried out a
sample household survey, organized Key Informant Interviews and direct contacts with APs. The details
on figures are presented in p.22 and p.23.
17. During the performed desk reviews IMA studied the following program documents:
Description Protocols, including the description of the affected assets for each AP, i.e. description of
land plots and crops/trees; description of structures/buildings and real estate; description of
business and company;
Valuation Reports, with detailed representation of the results of assets subject to acquisition by
licensed valuators;
Contracts on Acquisition of Property for Public and State Purposes, where together with all the
required provisions lot- ode, su fa e, o pe satio a ou t a d a k a ou t, a d the pe so ’s name are clearly mentioned; It must be signed by all co-owners or by their authorized people.
Agreements on Additional Compensation of APs for Acquisition of Property for Public and State
Purposes, clearly indicating the loss of assets subject to compensation as per the LARP;
compensation amount according to separate assets and their total; bank account (in compliance
with what is mentioned in Contract on Property Acquisition), the name of the person as well as
signatures of all co-owners or their authorized people.
Payment documents for the Property Acquisition Contracts and Agreements (Payment
Agreements) indicating compensation aim, bank account, amount, person and date of the
agreement or contract signing and payment/compensation date.
Internal Monitoring Report (April-September 2013). The PMU Internal Monitoring Report
comprehensively describes the internal monitoring findings of the 3rd Subsection LARP
implementation during April-September 2013.
Implementation Team-reports: Monthly Progress Reports (№ 9) prepared by the Implementation
Team of Social, Resettlement and Environmental Unit of PMU describe the activities carried out by
the Implementation team under 3rd Subsection of the Project implementation during the period of
June 29 - July 28, 2013. The final results of the Implementation team activities for the LARP
implementation per all T2 Subsections are included in the Final Report (as of November 2013) of the
Implementation Team.

Other documents and datasets.
18. For all communities 30% of documents and profiles of APs were studied (randomly chosen). At the same
time, in order to verify that compensation had been paid to all APs, the IMA reviewed payment orders of
all APs, except ones whose land plots were subject to Expropriation as of the date of the preparation of
the present Report. For all APs under the expropriation cases, compensation lodging documentation
were checked in order to confirm that relevant acquisition compensation amounts were lodged with
ou ts fo ea h APs’ la d a d othe assets .
19. Thus, the PMU database was analyzed, as well as data on assets and related documents and information
on AHs/APs were compared /reconciled.
20. Existence of all contracts, agreements and payment orders were checked, moreover, data contained in
them were checked for adequacy and compliance, in particular: (i) signatures of all owners and
verification by the notary, (ii) compliance of compensation and additional compensation amounts, (iii)
adequacy of bank accounts, (iv) compliance of notary verification dates of documents (activities
implementation) to the existing procedure (implementation schedule).
21. The process of public hearings and consultations was studied. Grievance redress procedures were also
studied: all written complaints and responses to them were studied in detail.
22. Key Informant Interviews with PMU of NSRC and PMC staff, LARP Implementation Team, and
Community officials (in total 8 informants) were carried out during monitoring as a result of which
clarifications and interpretations were provided to individual issues and questions.
23. 31% of all AHs (or 84 out of 272 AHs) were randomly selected from all communities of the 2nd
Subsection ensuring proportional inclusion of severely affected and vulnerable AHs in the sample.
Statistical sample survey based on face-to-face interviews was carried out in these AHs by using the
Compliance Review Survey Questionnaire (methodological details and questionnaire are presented in
the IMA Inception Report).
24. The data and results received through quantitative and qualitative studies were compared and, when
necessary, relevant APs were contacted and additional clarifications received.
25. Findings of external monitoring allowed concluding upon the reliability, comprehensiveness and
accuracy of data, as well as compliance and efficiency for compensation delivery process for the
compensated APs/AHs as of the date of the preparation of the present Report. Information on land plots
subject to expropriation is comprehensive. Respective conclusions and recommendations were
developed. The findings of monitoring are reflected in the present Compliance Report.

IV. COMPLIANCE REVIEW FINDINGS
A. ASSESSMENT OF THE LARP IMPLEMENTATION MODALITIES
a) Policy and Operational Procedures
26. In total, Tranche 2 affects 536 AHs, comprising 2,263 APs (including owners, leaseholders and informal
tenants). Among them severely affected will be 326 AHs, including 324 AHs who will lose more than 10%
of their agricultural land and 2 AHs who will have to be relocated. The T2 Project has therefore been
lassified as Catego A for the involuntary resettlement safeguard ased o ADB’s Ope atio Ma ual (OM) Section F1/OP (2013)2.
27. According to the approved LARF, LARF Addendum and Armenian legislation, a LARP was developed and
approved in September 2012. LARP implementation commenced in October 2012 and was completed in
August 2014. For the purposes of process simplification and management efficiency, the LARP was
decided to be implemented in separate subsections. As compared to Subsections 1 and 2, Subsection 3 is
the most complex with regard to implementation, since it contains also relocation and expropriation
cases, structure / building acquisition, as well as business / employment loss cases.
b) Determination of the Actual Scope of Project Impact
28. The project impacts were determined and identified the cases of loss of land and other assets (crops,
trees, vineyards, structure / building, business, employment) resulted from the construction needs along
the 3rd Subsection (km 31+140 - 46+208). Compensation and rehabilitation measures have been
reviewed and assessed based on these impacts.
29. As per the approved LARP, the scope of project impact in the 3rd Subsection entailed 395 land plots
(including 2 State owned, 148 Community and 245 Private plots) with total size of land take for project
needs 643,402 sq.m., which makes 37.1% of 1,734,144 sq.m. land and 47.1% of total land plots
envisaged by the LARP.
30. For the purpose of contract signing with the APs during LARP implementation it was necessary to split
real estate units and to register in State Committee of the Real Estate Cadastre before the Contract
signing. To that end, additional measurements were taken and cadastre maps were adjusted accordingly
(for details, please see Appendix 2).
31. During the LARP implementation phase, cadastre maps were verified (for both private and public lands).
As a result, 1) acquired land sizes, 2) characteristics of acquired lands (such as, incline, rockiness, and
surface condition), (3) functional meanings (usage purpose) of acquired lands (4) number of acquired
land plots were changed (some land plots were excluded from the acquisition area, meanwhile new
plots were added). Based on the changes in the measurement data some land plots were also revaluated
with unit rates stipulated in the LARP (for details, please see Appendices 2 and 3): Finally, this led to
changes in impacts and total compensation amount for these land plots.
32. As of the preparation date of the 3rd Subsection Compliance Report, acquisition of 73 land plots (18.3%
of all land plots) is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process, thus, acquisition and
compensation terms for them may change (for more details please see Expropriatio a d Measures Take Section and Appendix 11, p. B).
2 As per ADB Operation Manual (OM) Section F1/OP (2013 a p oje t is lassified as Catego A if or more Affected Persons
suffer significant impacts (relocation or loss of 10% or more of productive assets).

33. As per approved LARP, 2 State-owned land plots (3,540 sq.m.) were included in the affected area in the
3rd Subsection. Meanwhile, during the LARP implementation 9 State-owned land plots (30,722 sq.m.)
were affected. The increase in the number of land plots was the result of cadastre map verification
which revealed 2 new State-owned land plots (1 in Kosh and 1 in Agarak Community), while 5 land plots
in Agarak (4 Private and 1 Community land) changed their ownership and became State-owned land. As
a result of cadastre map verification, the area of land plots was adjusted (see Table 3). No compensation
for the State-owned lands is planned under the LARP.

34. As per approved LARP, it was planned to acquire 148 Community land plots (291,590 sq.m.). As a result
of the LARP implementation, 145 Community land plots are subject to acquisition (305,446 sq.m.). The
latter is explained by a number of factors (see Table 4). In particular:
(a) As a result of cadastre map verification (i) 1 Community land changed its ownership and became
State-owned land (in Agarak); (ii) 2 Private land plots (1 in Agarak, and 1 in Kosh) changed their
ownership and became Community-owned lands; (iii) 9 additional land plots were included in the Project
impact area and acquired respectively; (iv) 12 Community land plots initially subject to acquisition were
excluded from the impact area and, thus, were not acquired.
(b) 1 additional land plot was not acquired due to the design adjustment works aimed at reducing impact
of land acquisition.
3 The difference between numbers of land plots and AHs entitled to compensation is explained by (i) the fact that some AHs held
joint ownership title to certain land plots; and (i i) some AHs are owners of more than one land plot.
E o o i De elop e t a d ‘esear h Ce ter , .EDRC.am

35. As a result of cadastre maps verification, functional meaning (usage purpose) of 12 Community land plots
was changed: 5 land plots previously registered as agricultural were redefined as non-agricultural ones, while
7 non-agricultural plots – to agricultural. All 145 Community land plots are subject to compensation in
accordance with the approved LARP.
36. As of the preparation date of the 3rd Subsection Compliance Report, acquisition of 12 land plots is
currently being regulated under the Expropriation process fo o e details please see E p op iatio a d Measu es Take “e tio a d Appendix 11, p. B).
37. 8 leaseholders and 4 informal tenant AHs were identified on Community lands under Subsection 3 LARP.
Cadastre map verification revealed that the leased area of 4 land plots was out of the acquisition area
(therefore 4 leaseholder AHs were excluded from the Project impact area). While 1 new leaseholder and
1 new informal tenant AHs were identified on 2 Other land plots. At the same time (i) 1 new informal
tenant AH was identified on 1 new land plot; (ii) 1 new leaseholder and 1 new informal tenant were
identified on 2 former Private now registered as Community land plots; (iii) 1 leaseholder AH and 1
informal tenant AH became owners of their leased and used parts of Community lands, respectively.
These adjustments took place within the cut-off date defined for the cases regulated under the Action
Plan; therefore all AHs are entitled to compensation in accordance with LARP4. Consequently, the total
number of leaseholder AHs decreased by 3 during the LARP implementation totalling 5 AHs, while the
number of informal tenant AHs increased by 2 reaching 6 AHs (Table 4)5.

38. 245 Private land plots were subject to acquisition under the approved LARP (348,272 sq. m.). As a result
of LARP implementation, only 244 Private land plots are subject to acquisition with a total area of
439,119 sq.m. (Table 5). Thus, 32 Private land plots initially subject to acquisition were excluded from
the Project impact area and were not acquired due to the cadastre maps verification (30 land plots with
23 AHs) and due to applied design adjustment works (2 land plots with 2 AHs). Again, due to cadastre
map verifications (i) 4 land plots listed as Private under the LARP (5 AHs), in fact, were state owned
lands, (ii) 2 land plots listed as Private under the LARP (2 AHs), in fact, were Community-owned lands,
and (ii) 37 new Private land plots were included in the acquisition area (39 AHs).

40. According to the approved LARP, 15 AHs were classified as informal tenants on Private lands. As a result
of cadastre map verification, 3 informal tenant AHs were taken out from the acquisition area (one from
Agarak, Aghdzk and Ujan communities). During LARP implementation, 3 informal tenant AHs were
legalized (in Kosh community) who registered their property rights and were compensated as
landowners. Additional field observations revealed that 2 land plots with informal tenants (one from
Agarak and one from Ujan), as noted in LARP, do not have any improvement or use traces. As a result,
the number of informal tenants decreased by another 2 AHs. At the same time, (i) 3 new informal tenant
AHs were revealed on 3 land plots (in Ujan community); (ii) additional 3 land plots included in the
acquisition area had 3 informal tenant AHs (one in each of Agarak, Kosh and Ujan communities). As a
consequence, the number of informal tenants of private land plots decreased by 2 during the
implementation phase and totalled to 13 AHs (Table 5)6:
41. Thus, the number of AHs under the Subsection 3, without double counting reached 272, of which 254
AHs were land owners, 5 AHs – leaseholders of Community land and 19 AHs – informal tenants (6 AHs
Community and 13 – Private land users). At the same time, acquisition process of 71 AHs is not
completed yet (26% of AHs), 62 of which are land owners, 5 – leaseholders and 8 – informal tenants.
42. By summarizing the results of the LARP implementation, the total number of affected land plots increased
by 3 (reaching 398); as a result, the size of land taken for project needs grew by 131,884 sq.m. reaching
775,286 sq.m, from which 744,564 sq.m. is subject to compensation either as Community or as Private
Lands. The Table 6 summarizes the LARP implementation results by the types of AHs in the 3rd Subsection.

43. 8 leaseholder AHs were listed under the Subsection 3 LARP as Community land leaseholders. During the
LARP implementation, their number decreased by 3. As of the preparation date of the 3rd Subsection
Compliance Report, compensation to all 5 leaseholders is currently being regulated under the
Expropriation process.
44. According to the approved LARP, 19 AHs were classified as informal tenants, including 4 – on Community
land and 15 – on Private land. The total number of informal tenants did not change, meanwhile, the
number of tenants on community land increased by 2 and the number of private land informal tenants –
decreased by 2. As of the preparation date of Subsection 3 Compliance Report, compensation to
informal tenants on 3 community land plots and 5 private land plots is currently being regulated under
the Expropriation process.
45. According to the approved LARP, 92 AHs (73 land plots) were listed as entitled to compensation for the
loss of crops from 16,886 sq.m. Community land and 99,598 sq.m. Private land (Table 7). During the
implementation phase, (i) 6 AHs (6 land plots) eligible for compensation were excluded from the
acquisition area, (ii) 7 new AHs (5 new land plots) were included in the acquisition area and (iii) 31 AHs
(25 land plots) are no longer subject to compensation for crops as a result of impact adjustment carried
out under the PMU Action plan, meanwhile another 11 AHs (11 land plots) became eligible for
compensation. As a consequence, 64 AHs (49 land plots) were compensated in accordance with LARP
requirements out of total 73 AHs (58 land plots) eligible for compensation for crops. Compensation to
the remaining 9 AHs (9 land plots) is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.

46. According to the approved LARP, 102 AHs (100 land plots) were entitled to the compensation for the loss
of fruit/wood trees, together with Agarak (3 plots), Aghdzq (5 plots), Ujan (2 plots) and Kosh (2 plots)
communities which were entitled to the compensation of fruit trees and vineyards of total areas of
87,579 sq.m. During the implementation phase, (i) 13 AHs (15 land plots) eligible for compensation were

47. As a result of the LARP implementation, 95 AHs (91 land plots) were paid compensations for trees and
vineyard out of total 120 AHs (115 land plots) entitled to this type of compensation, while all 7
Community land plots entitled to compensation were compensated. Among those, compensation to 1
AH (1 land plot) does not comply with the LARP requirements. Corrective Measures are planned (see
Appendix 12, Part B). Compensation to the remaining 25 AHs (24 land plots) is currently being regulated
under the Expropriation process.
48. According to the approved LARP, the number of vulnerable AHs (poor AHs and AHs headed by a
woman/elderly) under Subsection 3 was 53. During the LARP implementation, the number of vulnerable
AHs increased by 9. 49 vulnerable AHs out of total 62 were compensated for being vulnerable in
accordance with LARP requirements. Compensation to the remaining 13 AHs is currently being regulated
under the Expropriation process.
49. According to the LARP, the number of severely AHs that were estimated to lose more than 10% of their
agricultural income was 121. During the implementation process, the number of severely AHs decreased
by 29 AHs. Out of remaining 92 severely AHs, 82 were compensated during the implementation,
compensation to 80 of them complies with the LARP requirements. In order to bring the compensation
of 2 severely AHs into compliance with the LARP, the PMU envisages Corrective Measures (see Appendix
12, Part B). Compensation to the remaining 10 severely AHs is currently being regulated under the
Expropriation process.
50. There are 2 cases of relocation under Subsection 3. During the implementation all relocated AHs were
compensated in accordance with the entitlements stipulated under the approved LARP.
51. 8 cases of structure / building acquisition were identified under the approved LARP for Subsection 3. The
number of cases eligible for compensation increased by 2 during the implementation phase. 5 AHs were
compensated out of 10 AHs (10 private lands) eligible for compensation. Compensation complies with
LARP requirements. Compensation to the remaining 5 AHs is currently being regulated under the
Expropriation process.

52. 4 cases of business loss (3 AHs and 1 Community-owned land plot) were included in the Subsection 3
LARP. The number of cases eligible for compensation did not change during implementation, meanwhile,
the number of AHs increased by 1 and totalled to 4 AHs. 2 AHs of them were compensated in
compliance with LARP requirements. Compensation to the other 2 AHs is currently being regulated
under the Expropriation process.
53. 1 case of employment loss was identified under the approved LARP for Subsection 3. During the
implementation, it was not feasible to verify loss of employment cases, together with compensation
calculations, under the PMU Action Plan: the reasons are presented in the PMU Reference on Subsection
3 LARP Final Action Plan (see Appendix 12, p. 1). Verification of the number of AHs with employment loss
cases, as well as calculations of relevant compensation amounts are regulated by the Subsection 3 Final
Action Plan (see Appendix 12, p. 2).
c) Minimizing Land Acquisition and Resettlement Impact
54. Due considerations have been given during the alignment selection and engineering design to minimize
the adverse impacts of land acquisition and involuntary resettlement: in fact, recommendations, made
on behalf of affected communities, were taken into account; as well as, alignment options, preferred for
communities, were selected. As result of public consultations held in Agarak and Ujan communities of
the 3rd Subsection (organized by the initiative of affected communities), it was revealed that the most
preferred option is widening the existing road to the left, along with the construction of a bypass road.
Thus, in the 3rd Subsection two bypasses will be constructed in Agarak (km 29+934 - km 32+600), and in
Ujan (km 36+600 - km 40+300) (i) to avoid acquisition of lands and constructions (buildings) of public
purpose, as well as (ii) to improve the safety of the communities by moving the high speed traffic away
from the developed existing road.
55. Thus, efforts have been put to incorporate the best engineering solution in avoiding large scale land
acquisition and resettlement in the 3rd Subsection. T2 Project line goes align with the main existing
highway in order to mitigate total adverse impact. As a result, only 2 cases of relocation are planned in
the whole T2 Project (in Kosh Community). In the 3rd Subsection, land acquisition and resettlement
impact has been minimized.

B. ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION DELIVERY
a) Compensation Eligibility
56. Compensation eligibility was limited by a cut-off date: it was set June 17, 2011 for the overall Project,
which is the date when the Detailed Measurement Survey commenced. As for areas subject to Public
Domain Law regulation, the cut-off date was determined to be November 11, 2013 which is the date to
commence measurement verification, field observations and description protocols formulation (see
Appendix 11, p. B).
57. As a result of 100% inventory of Project affected assets, the LARP determined the types of assets and
income loss subject to compensation and entitlements. As per approved LARP, entitlement provisions
for APs include provisions for land losses, building/structure losses, crops, plants, (or other objects
attached to the land), and a business/employment losses based on tax declarations and/or lump sums,
as well as allowance for severe impact, relocation and vulnerability.
58. The reporting below describes the accomplishment in respect of compensation for lost land, lost crops,
trees and vineyards, including the additional rehabilitation measures for severe impact, vulnerability and
relocation.
b) Compensation for Permanent Loss of Land
59. The LARP determined replacement cost of land based on existing market value determined by a survey
of land transactions or, if land markets are absent, productive value/reproduction cost of affected plot.
The unit compensation rates were assessed by a certified independent evaluator based on
methodologies acceptable to ADB. Compensation for agricultural and non-agricultural land has been
derived based on the evaluation reports from the independent valuator. Compensation to the owners
was calculated at replacement value +15% at market rates.
60. The agricultural, as well as non-agricultural lands were valued by the Independent valuator based on

validate the valuation results. The valuator reported that the plots in Talin region have been correctly
assessed, while the value of land in Ashtarak region needs to be adjusted. As a consequence, the value of
land plots in Ashtarak region, upon ADB proposal, was increased by 80%.
61. Overall, 398 land plots were affected (775,286 sq.m.), of which 389 (744,564 sq.m.) are subject to
acquisition, while the remaining land plots were State-owned property. 335 land plots (677,549 sq.m.)
are subject to compensation as agricultural land, while 54 (67,016 sq.m.) – as non-agricultural land. 145
land plots among those subject to acquisition were Community land (305,446 sq.m.), while 244 (439,119
sq.m.) were Private.
62. As of the preparation date of the 3rd Subsection Compliance Report, 325 out of total 389 land plots
(81.7% of total) subject to acquisition were actually acquired, 316 of which were compensated, including
133 Community and 183 Private land plots. State-owned land plots are not subject to compensation
(Table 9).
63. Compensation to the 73 AHs is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process. Overall, 4
communities are entitled to the compensation for the permanent loss of 12 land plots, while 63
land-owner AHs are entitled to the compensation for the permanent loss of 61 Private land plots.

64. According to the approved LARP, compensation for 148 Community land plots was estimated to reach
AMD 105,786,342 (Table 10). 13 land plots were not acquired during the LARP implementation, 1 land
plot became State-owned property, 9 new land plots were added, while 2 Private land plots changed
their ownership and became Community-owned property, resulting in the final number of plots reaching
145, while the compensation amount was adjusted to AMD 93,752,247.
65. Acquisition of 133 Community land plots with the total area of 259,997 sq.m. was compensated during
the implementation in total amount of AMD 61,935,002. Compensation complies with the LARP
requirements. Compensation to 12 Community-owned land plots with total area of 45,449 sq.m. is
currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.

66. According to the approved LARP, compensation for 245 Private land plots was estimated at AMD
288,320,178 (Table 11). As described in Deter i atio of the Actual “cope of Project I pact Section
(paragraph 38), during the implementation stage, 32 land plots were not acquired, 4 plots became
State-owned property, 2 Private land plots changed their ownership and became Community-owned
property, 37 new land plots were added: thus the total number of land plots was adjusted to 244.
E o o i De elop e t a d ‘esear h Ce ter , .EDRC.am
20
67. Although the total number of private land plots decreased by 1 (from 245 to 244), compensation amount
increased almost twice (from AMD 288,320,178 to AMD 544,642,844) (see Table 11). This occurred due
to the following reasons (i) 36 land plots (67,402 sq.m.), which were not acquired or compensated for as
private land during the LARP implementation, initially were entitled to compensation of AMD
37,270,511. Meanwhile, compensation for 37 land plots (79,247 sq.m.) identified during the
implementation phase to be eligible for compensation, constitutes AMD 144,617,290. Therefore, the
total area of land to be compensated for is higher by 18% which, together with correction of land plots
functional meanings (usage purpose), resulted in the increase of total compensation amount almost 4
times; (ii) the total area of the remaining 207 private land plots increased by 28% which, together with
correction of land plots functional meanings, resulted in an increase of compensation amount by 59%.
68. Acquisition of 183 Private land plots with the total area of 380,490 sq.m. was compensated during the
implementation stage with the total amount of AMD 464,191,548. Compensation complies with the
LARP provisions. Compensation to 61 private land plots with total area of 58,629 sq.m. is currently being
regulated under the Expropriation process.

69. As it was mentioned in Determination of the Actual Scope of Project Impact Section, during the
verification of cadastre maps, together with surface changes, some land plots were revaluated in
accordance with the unit rates stipulated by the LARP (for more details, see Appendices 2 and 3). This
implies that, as a result of implementation, the unit compensation rates for some land plots may differ
from the ones stipulated by the LARP.
70. The IMA reviewed 30% of APs profiles, including description protocols, valuation reports, contracts and
agreements signed with the APs, as well as payments documents in order to be assured that with all AHs
contracts were signed and compensations were paid according to contract and LARP provisions.
71. For all AHs, except ones whose land plots are subject to Expropriation, payment orders, compliance of
compensation amount (mentioned there) with the bank account, existence of all owners' signatures and
validity certified by notary public were checked. Compliance of validation dates (implementation of
actions) of documents was compared with the existing procedure (implementation time-table). The IMA
ascertained that all AHs were compensated by the amount mentioned in the signed contracts.
72. For all APs under the Expropriation cases, compensation lodging documentation were checked in order
to o fi that ele a t a uisitio o pe satio a ou ts e e lodged ith ou ts fo ea h APs’ la d acquisition.

Findings: Acquisition of 325 land plots out of total 398 plots subject to acquisition under Subsection 3 is
completed (includes 9 State-owned land plots), while acquisition of 73 land plots is currently being regulated
under the Expropriation process.
Land acquisition contracts were signed with all AHs and Communities whose land plots were acquired. All AHs
and Communities who signed contracts were compensated in accordance with the LARP requirements.
Compensation to 61 Private land plots (63 land-owner AHs and 5 informal tenants) and 12 Community land
plots (with 5 leaseholder AHs and 3 informal tenants) is currently being regulated under the Expropriation
process. Calculated compensation amounts for each AP under the Expropriation process were lodged with
courts. Compensations comply with the LARP requirements.
Compensation for the permanent loss of land under Subsection 3 is in compliance with the LARP requirements.
c) Compensation for Affected Crops, Trees and Vineyards
73. According to the LARP Entitlements all AHs regardless of legal status (including legalizable and informal
users) were eligible to be compensated for crops and trees.
74. Crop compensation was calculated as cash compensation at current gross market rate (inclusive of inputs)
alue of ea ’s ha est default. Additio al ea s of op losses e e alued at et alue ithout inputs). The unit rate has been determined based on the yield of major crops for the 2011 period.
75. During project implementation, 73 AHs were eligible for compensation for the loss of crops out of 58
land plots7. 63 AHs (48 land plots) were compensated for crops with the total amount of AMD 7,501,715.
Compensation unit rates correspond to the ones approved by the LARP.
76. Compensation to the remaining 9 AHs eligible for crops on 9 private land plots is currently being
regulated under the Expropriation process.

77. Monetary compensation for trees was calculated at the current market prices based on various valuation
methodologies depending on whether it is a fruit tree or wood tree. Fruit trees were valued as different
categories (i) young trees/layers, (ii) not fruit trees yet; (iii) fruit trees. Wood trees were evaluated based
on the type, age and wood volume of tree per 3 categories (i) layers, (ii) trees of medium maturity and
(iii) mature trees. The quality and volume of wood was taken into account. Compensation for vineyards
was calculated based on the yield of vineyards and number of years that are necessary for vineyard to
reach full maturity and yield age. Compensation also includes auxiliary structures per linear meters of
vineyards.

79. Compensation to the owner of 130-004 private land plot from Kosh community does not comply with
the LARP requirements: the owner was not compensated for the loss of wood trees (AMD 15,000) and
vineyards (AMD 124,500). The PMU envisages Corrective Measures to be implemented during October 1
– October 30, 2014, in order to bring compensation to the above AH in compliance with the LARP
requirements (see Appendix 12, p. B).
80. Compensation to the remaining 25 AHs (24 land plots) eligible for compensation is currently being
regulated under the Expropriation process.

81. As a result of Subsection 3 implementation, 7 land plots out of 7 plots eligible for compensation for
wood trees and vineyards were compensated. In particular, AMD 3,885,552 was paid for 5 land plots in
Aghdzq and AMD 655,931 were paid for 2 land plots in Kosh community which complies with the LARP
requirements.
Findings: During the LARP implementation in the 3rd Subsection, 64 AHs out of total 73 AHs eligible for
compensation for the loss of crops were compensated in accordance with the LARP requirements.
Compensation to the remaining 9 AHs is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
Compensation for the loss of crops under Subsection 3 is in compliance with the LARP requirements.
During the LARP implementation in the 3rd Subsection, 95 AHs and 7 community-owned land plots were
compensated for the loss of wood trees and vineyards in accordance with the LARP requirements.
Compensation to the remaining 25 AHs is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
Compensation to 1 AH (Kosh, 130-004 lot-code) does not comply with the LARP requirements: the PMU
envisages Corrective Measures (Appendix 12, p. B). The IMA will monitor the envisaged processes. Upon
completion of the Corrective Measures, compensation for wood trees and vineyards under Subsection 3 will
comply with the LARP requirements.
d) Compensation for Leaseholders and Informal Tenants
82. A o di g to the LARP E title e ts leaseholde s’ o pe satio as al ulated ased o the a ket value of the affected land + 15% in the following proportions based on the remaining years of lease: (for
years 1-15 – 14%, years 15-25 – 20%, while for 25 years and more – 25%). The compensation for
leaseholders and informal tenants included the loss of crops, trees and vineyards, as well as allowances
for severe impact and vulnerability.
83. Approved LARP for Subsection 3 includes 8 leaseholder AHs. All of them are leaseholders of Community
lands: 1 in Aghdzq and Ujan, and the remaining 6 in Kosh community.
84. During the LARP implementation, it turned out that leased parts of 4 land plots are not included in the
acquisition area (all plots in Kosh community); therefore 4 leaseholders were taken out from the
acquisition area. 1 leaseholder AH became the owner of the leased plot in Ujan community and, thus, is
eligible for compensation as land-owner in accordance with the LARP requirements. At the same time, 2
new leaseholder AHs were included (one from Kosh and one from Agarak) as a consequence of which
the final number of leaseholders is 5 AHs (Table 14).
85. As of the date of preparation of the present Report, compensation agreements were not signed with
leaseholder AHs since the leased Community land plots are under the Expropriation process.
Compensation to all 5 leaseholder AHs is currently being regulated by the Expropriation process.

86. 19 AHs in Subsection 3 are classified as Informal tenants / usufruct users as per approved LARP (Table
15). During LARP implementation (i) 1 private land plot with an informal tenant AH in Aghdzq community
were taken out from acquisition area; (ii) 4 informal tenant AHs (3 –in Kosh and 1 – in Agarak
community) were legalized. These APs registered their property rights during LARP implementation and
are eligible for compensation as land-owners as prescribed by LARP; (iii) as a result of cadastre map
verification and additional field observations, the number of informal tenants decreased by 4 AHs (two
from Agarak and two from Ujan communities).
87. At the same time, (i) 4 new informal tenants were identifies on 4 land plots (in Ujan community); (ii) 4
new land plots included in the acquisition area have 4 informal tenant AHs (one in Agarak, one in Ujan
and 2 – in Kosh); (iii) formerly private land plot re-classified as community has 1 tenant.
88. As a result, the total number of informal users remained unchanged during LARP implementation – 19 AHs.

89. As of the preparation date of the 3rd Subsection Compliance Report, 11 Informal tenants out of 19 were
compensated. Compensation agreements with 8 tenants have not been signed since, because respective
Community and Private land plots are under the Expropriation process. Compensation to all 8 informal
tenants is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
90. Compensation for 10 Informal tenants out of 11 corresponds to the LARP requirements. In order to
comply the compensation of the remaining 1 Informal tenant with the LARP provisions, the PMU
envisages Corrective Measures. In particular, compensation (AMD 3 million) for fruit trees was paid to
the informal tenant of Community land in Aghdzq (128-001) as well as allowance for vulnerability was
paid (AMD 195,000), but additional AMD 500,000 shall be paid for the Project severe impact, as well
(Appendix 12, p. B).
91. The owner of 130-003 and 130-004 land plots who registered his right of property was compensated for
loss of land and fruit trees in accordance with the LARP requirements. However, the owner is subject to
additional compensation for loss of decorative trees (AMD 15,000) and vineyards (AMD 124,500), he
also shall get allowance for severe impact in the amount of AMD 692,245. In total, AMD 831,745 shall be
additionally paid to AHs for which the PMU envisages Corrective measures (Appendix 12, p. B). As a
result the total amount of compensation to the owner will make AMD 11,698,503 and will comply with
the LARP provisions.

Findings: During the LARP implementation in Subsection 3, the number of leaseholders decreased by 3
compared with the number recorded in the LARP and amounted in 5 AHs. Compensation to all leaseholders is
currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
During the LARP implementation in Subsection 3, the number of Informal tenants remained unchanged: 19 AHs.
1 Informal tenant changed his status becoming the land owner. But his compensation does not correspond to
the LARP provisions and according to the LARP Entitlement Matrix the AH shall be additionally compensated
with AMD 831,745 for which the PMU envisaged Corrective Measures (Appendix 12, p. B).
11 Informal tenants out of 19 were compensated and compensation of 10 of them corresponds to the LARP
requirements. In order to comply the compensation of the remaining 1 AH with the LARP requirements, the
PMU envisages Corrective Measures. Informal tenant on Aghdzq community land (128-001) shall be
additionally paid AMD 500,000. Compensation to the remaining 8 Informal tenant AHs is currently being
regulated under the Expropriation process.
The IMA will monitor the processes envisaged by Corrective Measures.
After the compensation of 1 Informal tenant on Aghdzq community land (128-001), the compensation for
informal tenants and leaseholders of Subsection 3 will correspond to the LARP requirements.
e) Compensation Entitlements for Vulnerable groups
92. As per approved LARP, additional allowances were considered for vulnerable groups, particularly for
female-headed AHs, elderly headed AHs as well as AHs registered in Family Benefit System (FBS). The
allowance was equivalent to 6 months of minimum salary (AMD 32,500 per month) as well as
employment priority in project-related jobs.
93. According to the approved LARP in the 3rd Subsection 53 AHs were classified as socially vulnerable. 32 of
them were poor AHs, 22 – were headed by female or elderly AP.
94. As a result of cadastre map verification, land plots of 3 vulnerable AHs were excluded from the
acquisition area during the LARP implementation. As a result of impact adjustments under the Action
Plan, 15 AHs were taken out of socially venerable AHs list; meanwhile 27 other AHs were included in that
list. As a result, 62 AHs were classified as vulnerable during the LARP implementation, 46 of them were
poor, while 17 of them were headed by female or elderly AP.
95. 49 out of 62 AHs received vulnerability allowances and were compensated in accordance with their
entitlements stipulated in the LARP (AMD 195,000 per vulnerable AH). The total amount of vulnerability
allowances paid to the eligible AHs totalled to AMD 2,925,000. Compensation to the remaining 13
vulnerable AHs is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.

Findings: During the LARP implementation in the 3rd Subsection, the number of socially vulnerable AHs
increased by 9. 49 out of 62 vulnerable AHs were compensated in accordance with their entitlements.
Compensation to the remaining 13 vulnerable AHs is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
Compensation to vulnerable AHs under Subsection 3 complies with the LARP requirements.
f) Entitlements for the Cases of Severe Impact
96. In accordance with the Entitlement Matrix, an AH under severe impact was eligible for one additional
crop compensation covering 1- ea ’s ield. AHs ho did ot ha e a op du i g the assets inventory
process, but had a crop in the previous year, receive the allowance equivalent to 6 months of minimum
salary (AMD 32,500 per month).
97. Under the LARP, severely AHs losing more than 10% of their agricultural income were reported 121. 91
of them (5 informal tenants, 2 leaseholders and 84 land owners) were meant to be compensated in
amount equivalent to the annual yield, while 30 AHs (5 informal tenants and 25 land owners) were
entitled to receive allowances equivalent to 6 months of minimum salary (AMD 195,000 per AHs).
98. During the implementation stage, (i) 8 severely AHs (8 land plots) were removed from acquisition area;
(ii) 10 new severely AHs (10 land plots) were added; (iii) as a result of impact adjustments under the
Action Plan, 37 AHs are no longer considered as severely AHs, while other 6 AHs are now considered
severely AHs. Thus, according to the LARP implementation results, 92 AHs were severely affected
(without double counting).
99. During the implementation period, 10 AHs (1 informal tenant and 9 land owners) were compensated
with amount equivalent to the minimal semi-annual salary, while 70 AHs (land owners) were
compensated in amount equivalent to the annual yield as stipulated under the Entitlement Matrix.
100.Compensation to 10 AHs eligible fo o pe satio of ea ’s op i fo al te a t a d land-owners) is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.

Findings: According to the LARP, the number of severely AHs in the 3rd Subsection was 121. During the
implementation, the number of severely AHs in the 3rd Subsection decreased by 29 compared to the approved
LARP (reaching 92 HHs). 80 out of 92 severely AHs were compensated according to their entitlements stipulated
under the Entitlement Matrix of the LARP.
Compensation of 2 severely AHs (one from Kosh 130-004 and the other from Aghdzq 128-001) does not comply
with the LARP stipulations. During October 1 – October 30, 2014 the PMU will undertake Corrective Measures in
order to compensate those AHs according to the LARP stipulations (Appendix 12, p. B). IMA will monitor the
implementation of Corrective Measures.
Compensation to remaining 10 AHs (1 informal tenant and 9 land-owners) is currently being regulated under
the Expropriation process.
Once implementation of Corrective Measures is completed, the compensation of severe AHs in the 3rd
Subsection will comply with the LARP provisions.
g) Entitlements for the Cases of Relocation
103. Under the approved LARP, in the whole T2 Project only 2 cases of relocation are planned in Kosh
Community of Subsection 3. During implementation, all 2 AHs were relocated.
104. Area of land plot 132-013 was adjusted during implementation (decreased from 1,999 sq. m. to 1,994
sq. m.); while as a result of additional field observations compensation was adjusted for fruit trees and
loss of structure as compared to the approved LARP. As a result, the relocated AH on land plot 132-013
in Kosh was overall paid AMD 30,649,389 which complies with LARP requirements.

105. Acquisition of private land plot 050-026 was implemented under the PMU Action Plan. Therefore, as
priority for public interest land, impact on land plot 050-026 were reviewed and adjusted, estimated
units for compensation for land, structure and temporary impact also changed as compared to the LARP
data see E p op iatio a d Measu es take “e tio a d Appendix 11, p. B).
106. Thus, as a result of additional field observations of land plot 050-026 during the implementation phase,
(i) compensation for land; (ii) compensation for fruit trees, wood trees, vineyard and structure; (iii)
compensation for severe impact, relocation and transportation; were changed as compared to the
approved LARP, as well as (iv) compensation was paid for damaged water pipes and cost of repair of
electricity lines which was not envisaged by the LARP. As a result, overall AMD 31,968,260 was paid as
relocation compensation for land plot 31,968,260 in Kosh which complies with the LARP requirements.
107. According to Compliance Survey for Subsection 3, one of the relocated AHs – owner of land plot
132-013 is dissatisfied with the LARP implementation processes and submitted a written complaint
which was related to the total acquisition of the land plot instead of the partial acquisition. The
complai t as ot satisfied fo o e details, please see Co plai ts & G ie a e Red ess Me ha is Section, p. 125). The other relocated AH - owner of land plot 050-026 is satisfied with compensation
amount. Both AHs confirmed the receipt of compensation.

Findings: Compensation of all AHs subject to relocation in Subsection 3 is carried out in accordance with the
LARP provisions.
h) Compensation for Buildings and Structures Loss
108. According to the approved LARP, there are 8 building/structure acquisition cases under Subsection 3
which implies compensation to 7 AHs (6 private land plots), 1 community land leaseholder AH and Ujan
community for land plot 217-001.
109. During the implementation phase, cases eligible for compensation increased by 2. In particular, (i) 4 new
private land plots (4 AHs) were added in the acquisition area; (ii) 2 community land plots (1 leaseholder
AH) and 2 private plots (2 AHs) are no longer eligible for buildings/structures compensation as a result of
impact adjustment measures carried out under the PMU Action Plan, meanwhile 2 other AHs (2 private
land plots) became eligible for such compensation. 5 AHs out of 10 AHs (10 private land plots) eligible
for compensation were compensated during the implementation phase. Compensation to the remaining
5 AHs is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.

C. COMPENSATION DELIVERY PROCESS
a) Public Consultations and Awareness Raising
116. Public consultations and awareness raising process started before the LARP implementation.
Particularly, awareness raising and public consultations were organized in all 16 communities of T2
(including 4 communities of the 3rd Subsection) during 17-24 August, 2011. Representatives from the
PMU, design and valuation consultants, and ADB Country Office participated to those meetings. During
this period, the process was thoroughly explained to the AHs and necessary information on their rights
was provided.
117. Since the LARP implementation launched, from September 2012, staff of the Implementation Team has
had meetings with the heads of all communities of the 3rd Subsection, to inform them about the
starting of LARP implementation and on the purpose of provision of approved LARP complete
document.
118. Simultaneously, official notification were sent to all APs of the 3rd Subsection, on starting of LARP
implementation process, clear details on real estate acquisition conditions (entitlements and
compensation), as well as the LARP Information Pamphlet was provided to each of them.
119. Consultation and assistance was given to APs in all legal and organizational issues. In case of deceased
owners: regulation of heritage right recognition, right registration. In case of absence of the owner from
the country, regulation of the provision of power of attorneys, etc.
120. During the meetings with APs, also was updated the information on APs (presence of all the owners,
availability and validity of necessary documents, etc.).
121. Public awareness raising meetings (during the Action Plan implementation) were repeated in November
2013 in all affected communities. APs of land plots of priority public interest (as defined by the GoA
Decree8), PMU representatives, as well as experts of the Uptime LLC consulting company hired under
the LAR process participated in these meetings. Organization and implementation progress of land
acquisition and relocation process, phases thereof, principles of compensation payment to affected
individuals, rights and responsibilities of the latter were presented during meetings, as well as potential
grievance redress mechanisms were presented and clarified.
Finding: Awareness raising and public consultations process was properly organized based on LARP
requirements.
b) Complaints & Grievance Redress Mechanism
122. To assess the grievance redress process, the IMA requested all the copies of submitted Complaints. The
PMU ensured provision of all (47) complaints. The IMA studied the contents, character and relevance of
these complaints. Notably, Complaints were studied per 2 phases of the LARP implementation under
Subsection 3: prior to the Action Plan implementation (April-September, 2013) and during its
implementation (September 2013-September 2014). When studying the Complaints, it was taken into
account that the Expropriation processes were envisaged by the Action Plan which implied
expropriation of those land plots complaints about which were not feasible to satisfy by the PMU and
which were subject to court decisions.

b1) Prior to the Action Plan implementation (April-September, 2013)
123. 17 complaints were submitted to the Community Grievance Redress Group (GRG): 6 complaints were
submitted to Ujan, 5 – to Agarak and Kosh, 1 – to Aghdzk Community GRG. In GRGs, complaints were
properly recorded in the grievance register books. The day of the complaint submission was recorded as
well. GRG representatives responded to the submitted complaints in written form within defined dates
(7 days).
124. All 17 complaints submitted to the GRG were forwarded to PMU/MOTC. Decisions were taken within
defined timeframes (15 days) with regard to complaints forwarded to PMU/MOTC: 8 complaints were
satisfactorily addressed in favour of the claimants and 9 were rejected. The nature and details of the
complaints, as well as decisions taken upon them are presented below. The IMA agrees with the
decisions taken.
125. o plai ts e e elated to the AP’s desi e to a ui e the total la d plot i stead of the affe ted pa t; or, in case of separating into several parts, to the acquisition of the land parts not accessible for
cultivation. 4 of these requests were satisfied, the other 3 were rejected (violation of timeframes:
complaints should have been submitted within 2-month period after notification about land
acquisition), and moreover, rejection reasons were clarified to the complainants. The IMA agrees with
the decision taken.
126. 7 complaints were related to the valuation of land, trees or crops. In the result of field survey
implemented by a licensed company engaged by the PMU, 1 of the complaints was satisfied, 6 were
rejected. (i) 5 of the remaining 6 rejected applications referred to disagreement with the price of land
valuation. Complaints were rejected since valuation consultancy results confirmed the actuality of
initially valuated prices. (ii) 1 of the rejected 6 applications referred to compensation for crops. It was
rejected because in the description protocol, signed by the owner, crops were not recorded, and in
accordance with LARP principles any improvements made after the Description Protocols signing, are
not compensated. Rejection reasons were clarified to the complainants. The IMA agrees with the
decisions taken.
127. 1 complaint was related to the partial acquisition of the land plot instead of the total acquisition. The
complaint was satisfied. One more complaint was related to the wrong notification of the
compensation amount to the AH. During verification process the error of technical nature was
corrected, and the AH was informed about the real compensation amount.
128. 1 AH requested the PMU to accelerate the acquisition process as well as termination of its banking loan
commitment. The request was satisfied. The IMA agrees with the decisions taken.
b2) Action Plan implementation phase (September 2013-September 2014)
129. All 30 complaints during this phase were directly submitted to the PMU/MOTC. This is explained by the
fact that acquisition process under the Action Plan was carried out in accordance with the Law on
Eminent Domain (hereinafter – the Law) which also defines the terms and deadlines for complaints
submission by property owners or persons holding any other property rights during various phases of
the process. Notably, the agency submit the complaints is the same agency responsible for acquisition
(in this particular case – MOTC on behalf of which the PMU operates) or the court.
130. 16 complaints were submitted by APs from Agarak and 7 complaints from each of Ujan and Kosh
communities. Decisions were taken on these complaints within the set time limits and a written
response was sent to each complaining AP.
131. 5 complaints related to the APs preference to divest the land plot entirely instead of only affected parts
(when the land plot was subject to dividing into several parts). 1 complainant was satisfied, while 4 –
E o o i De elop e t a d ‘esear h Ce ter , .EDRC.am
36
were rejected: rejection grounds were explained to relevant APs (breach of Article 5 part 2 of the Law)9.
The IMA agrees with decisions taken. Among the rejected complaints, 1 land plot was acquired in
mutual agreement, while for the other 3 land plots, expropriation process was initiated.
132. 1 complaint referred to the acquisition of the entire land plot instead of partial acquisition. The
complaint was satisfied.
133. 3 complaints related to the demand to be paid compensation as a vulnerable HH. 2 complaints were
satisfied based on documentation presented for being a vulnerable HH. 1 complaint was rejected on the
grounds of insufficient basis for being considered a vulnerable HH. The IMA agrees with the decisions
taken in this regard.
134. 2 APs submitted complaints attaching their Property certificates and requesting to consider their land
plots during the acquisition and compensation process. Both complaints were satisfied and
compensation was recalculated and notified.
135. 3 complaints related to the inconsistencies between the actual measurements and visual improvement
records. The PMU submitted these complaints to Uptime LLC who carries out measurement, visual
inspection and evaluation under the Action Plan and asked to review the raised cases. Uptime LLC
carried out field visits and double-checked the measurements together with APs. As a result of
double-checks, initial findings were confirmed: 2 APs agreed with the findings and signed relevant
documents. For 1 complaint, improvement records were adjusted and compensation amount was
re-calculated. The IMA agrees with the measures and decisions taken in this regard.
136. 1 complaint was submitted with a request to clarify the methodology of land evaluation. The request
was satisfied. The IMA agrees with the decisions taken in this regard.
137. 2 complaints were submitted by the same AP land plot of which was already acquired. The AP
complained on the number of (trees) improvements initially recorded: the AP believed the quantity was
higher. The complaint was not satisfied; the AP was clarified the process of Description protocol and
Grievance redress process thereof.
138. 1 complaint was submitted by an informal user of community land requesting to compensate for
non-legal structures constructed on the community land plot. The complaint was rejected based on
LARF principles, in accordance to which, illegal structures are subject to compensation only after their
legalization/registration. The IMA agrees with the decisions taken in this regard.
139. 1 complaint related to the disagreement with valuation of grape units. The complaint was forwarded to
Uptime LLC asking to clarify the calculation methodology. The clarification is not yet received from
Uptime LLC. At the same time, expropriation process is initiated. The IMA agrees with the steps taken in
this regard.
140. 10 complaints were repeating and were submitted by 5 APs or lawyers representing their rights. For
such cases, the PMU submitted a number of clarifying responses; however the complainants were not
satisfied: they will be directed to the court as part of expropriation proceedings. The IMA agrees with
the decisions taken in this regard.
Findings: 16 out of 47 complaints, submitted to the GRG and PMU in the 3nd Subsection, were solved for benefit
of the applicant, while 1 complaint was under the discussion by the date of the present report submission. 10

part of the property shall also be acquired upon the request of the owner. Such a request can be submitted by the o e ithi t o o th’ pe iod sta ti g f o the date of the Go e e t de isio o e og itio of pu li do ai . As part of the North-South Road Corridor Investment program,
the respective Government Decree on Public Domain N 1186-N, dated 26.09.2013 became effective on 16.11.2013. Whereas 2 of the mentioned
complaints were submitted after the completion of the 2-month grievance period (violation of timeframes) and the other 2 complaints were
submitted by persons who are not owners or only by some of the owners (in case of mutual ownership).

rejected complaints will be directed to the court as part of expropriation proceedings. Grievance redress was
conducted in compliance with defined procedures and within defined dates, answers were properly reasoned.
The quality of revision verifies the efficiency of Grievance Redress Mechanism.
c) Expropriation and Measures taken
141. According to the GoA Decree N 1186-N dated September 26, 2013, 189 land plots subject to acquisition
under Subsection 3 of the Action plan were determined as priority public interest.
142. Thus, according to the Law on Eminent Domain, the PMU initiated court proceedings for land plots
under the Action Plan not acquired due to disagreements with AHs or for other reasons (Expropriation).
In particular, (i) calculated compensation amount for each AP was lodged with the court, (ii) thereafter,
if the contract was not signed within 7 days, a court appeal on property acquisition is submitted with a
o th’s ti e. Effe ti e ess of the ou t de isio upo o pe satio a ou t fo the la d plot to e acquired is a basis for the acquisition of land with the compensation amount determined by a court
decision. The rights of the previous owner with regard to the land plot are thus terminated.
143. According to the calculations based on the PMU Database provided to the IMA, 73 land plots in
Subsection 3 were under the Expropriation proceedings, including 61 private land plots (63 owner AHs
and 5 informal users) and 12 community-owned plots (5 tenant AHs and 3 informal land-users). All data
related to the Expropriation process under Subsection 3 are presented in relevant sections of the
present report.
Findings: 73 land plots in Subsection 3 were under the Expropriation proceedings, including 61 private land plots (63
owner AHs and 5 informal users) and 12 community-owned plots (5 tenant AHs and 3 informal land-users).
Information on land plots subject to expropriation is comprehensive.

38
d) D. ASSESSMENT OF PUBLIC SATISFACTION
144. The IMA conducted a Compliance Review survey in all affected communities under the 3rd Subsection.
Survey sample covered more than 31 percent of all AHs or 84 AHs that were randomly selected during
the sample construction under the Baseline Survey. At the same time, during the LARP implementation
of Subsection 3, 4 private land plots (2 – in Agarak, 1 – in Aghdzk and another one in Ujan communities)
were taken out from the acquisition area, as consequence 4 AHs were randomly replaced with the same
community AHs in the Compliance Survey.
145. As of the preparation date of the Report, compensations of 15 AHs (17.9% of the sample) were not paid
because Expropriation proceedings were in process. From the perspective of the Compliance Report
coverage, the IMA replaced these AHs with such AHs acquisition process from which was completed, as
noted in the PMU data. The replacement will not affect the sample of the Impact Assessment survey of
the project implementation.
146. Face-to-face interviews were successfully completed with 82 AHs out of total 84 in the sample:
Compliance Review questionnaire was used for the interviews. 2 AHs that did not participate in the
interviews (one from Ujan and another one – from Agarak) were not in the country.
147. Then, the results obtained from 82 AHs or 30.1% of all AHs were inputted in the database, data were
logically checked and verified. Accordingly, data was compared with desk review results and other data
from the PMU where necessary. In certain cases, AHs were contacted to check and verify data and
information.
148. All interviewed AHs stated that they had received official notification on compensation amount and
entitlements.
149. All 82 AHs mentioned that they had received the Description Protocols. Nevertheless, 1 AH from Agarak
community noted that he does not agree with the description/measurement data in the Description
Protocol and, therefore, has not signed it. The other 81 AHs signed Description Protocols.
150. Contracts were signed by all 82 AHs, and all of them confirmed the receipt of compensation amount. All
82 AHs preferred to receive the compensation via bank transfer, which had been considered a
convenient way for all.
151. Overall satisfaction from the LARP implementation processes is summarized in Table 23 below. About
40% of respondents are fully or partially satisfied by various processes of LAP implementation, while
20% - are not very satisfied.
152. As can be seen from Table 23, about 40% of respondents were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with the
evaluation of assets and property, as well as overall compensation amount. About 34% were
dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with Measurement, Description protocol preparation process, as well as
additional compensation amount.

153. 13 AHs out of 29 dissatisfied with various LARP implementation processes submitted written
complaints. Majority of complaints – 11 AHs (5 AHs from Agarak, 4 – from Ujan and 2 – from Kosh)
related to the overall compensation amount. Written responses were received from Social and
Environmental Unit/PMU. 8 AHs were fully dissatisfied with the responses (for such cases, please see
Grievance Redress Mechanism section).
154. 16 AHs who had disagreements, but did not submit written complaints mentions that grievance
procedures are too complex (8 AHs) or they did not trust the procedures (8 AHs).
155. All respondents noted that public hearings and consultations were held in their communities.
Nevertheless, 16 AHs (about 20%) did not attend the meetings due to time constraints or did not view
them important (9 AHs) or were absent (3 AHs). Only 4 AHs were not aware of such hearings or
consultations.
156. According to the 66 AHs attended the public hearings, they were comprehensive and covered the
answers to important questions. 65 AHs assessed the public hearings and consultations process:
according to 30 AHs, they were very useful, to 46 AHs – useful, while for 6 AHs - useless (3 –from Ujan,
1 from Agarak, Aghdzk and Kosh each)
157. 20 AHs out of 82 interviewed AHs were vulnerable, and 43 were severely AHs. Overall, 368 APs lived in
those 82 AHs, of which 177 were female. The survey results identified, that LARP implementation
corresponds to gender and social characteristics of AHs.
Findings: Survey findings were compared with desk review analyses findings and database provided by the
PMU to the IMA. Thus, according to the Compliance Review Survey, all LARP processes were complied
with; there are no cases identified when compensation was not paid (for those AHs compensation to which
is not regulated under the Expropriation process). All interviewed APs confirmed the receipt of
compensation. 40% of respondents were fully or partially satisfied with the LARP implementation various
processes, while about 20% - were not very satisfied. According to the methodology presented in the IMA
Inception Report, M&E findings of long-term impact of Tranche 2 LARP implementation will be
summarized in the Ex-Post Evaluation Report.

V. CONCLUSIONS AND LESSONS LEARNT
158. Based on the Inception Report and approved methodology, the IMA carried out detailed monitoring and
assessment of LARP implementation under North-South Road Corridor Investment Program Tranche 2
(Subsection 3, km 31+140 - 46+208), Talin community (km 69+700 – km 69+710) under Subsection 2, as
well as LARP implementation cases regulated under Subsection 2 Action Plan.
159. Applied methodology allowed collecting reliable data for monitoring and evaluation and drawing
conclusions and recommendations. In particular, the IMA findings are presented below:
i) 398 land plots were affected by the Project (in all 4 affected communities), 9 of them were RA land
plots, 145 – Community and 244 – Private land plots. Out of 389 Private and Community land plots
subject to acquisition and compensation, acquisition of 73 (61 Private and 12 Community) land
plots is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
ii) 272 HHs were affected, 254 of which permanently lost their land plots, and 5 were leaseholders of
Community land and 19 AHs Informal tenants (4 Community and 15 Private land informal tenants).

and 5 Informal tenants of 61 Private lands, as well as 5 leaseholders and 3 Informal tenants of 12
Community lands plots is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.
iii) Description Protocols and Valuation Reports were prepared for all affected land plots. Cadastre
map verification resulted in significant adjustments in impact types and magnitudes. Respectively,
Description Protocols and Valuation reports were reviewed. Nevertheless, these documents for
land plots identified or corrected during the LARP implementation are kept at PMU only in
electronic format, while the hard copies are not there.
iv) Except for cases regulated by the Expropriation process, contracts were signed and compensation
was received by all AHs. Compensation amounts for each AP under the Expropriation process were
lodged with courts.
v) According to the IMA HH survey findings, all AHs received Description Protocols and Evaluation
Reports: AHs agree with the information and data contained in these documents.
vi) According to implementation results, compensation for the permanent loss of 244 Private land
plots to 261 AHs totalled to AMD 544,642,844. During the LARP implementation the acquisition of
183 Private plots with total surface of 380,490 sq.m. was compensated (AMD 464,191,548). The
compensation complies with the LARP provisions. Compensation for 61 Community land plots with
total area of 58,629 sq.m. is currently being regulated under the Expropriation process.

41
Compensation for 1 AH does not comply with the LARP. Compensation to 25 AHs is currently being
regulated under the Expropriation process.
x) The number of leaseholders decreased by 3 and equalled 5 AH. Compensation to all AHs is currently
being regulated under the Expropriation process.
xi) During LARP implementation 11 out of 119 Informal tenants were compensated. Compensation to 1
Informal tenant does not comply with LARP provisions. Compensation to 8 informal tenant AHs is

Expropriation process.
xiv) Compensation to two relocated AHs is in compliance with the LARP provisions.
xv) During LARP implementation, the number of AHs eligible for compensation for buildings/structures
increased by 1. 5 AHs out of 10 were compensated in compliance with the LARP. Compensation to

158. Although findings showed that LARP was successfully implemented, nevertheless the IMA considers the
following Corrective Measures as important:
1. To pay allowance according to the LARP for the Project severe impact to Informal tenant
of 128-001 Community land in Aghdzq in amount of AMD 500,000;
2. To compensate according to the LARP to owner of 130-004 Private land for the loss of wood trees
(AMD 15,000) and vineyards (AMD 124,500) as well as to pay allowance for severe impact (AMD
692,245);
3. To sign a supplemental agreement with Kosh community (127-002) to receive back AMD 123,692
paid as severe impact allowance to comply with LARP.
159. Summarizing external monitoring findings, IMA believes that with implementation of the suggested 3
Corrective Measures by the PMU, LARP implementation under the 3rd Subsection (excluding cases
regulated by the PMU Final Action plan) should be considered efficiently completed in compliance with
defined policy and operational procedures and with the consent of APs. In that case, the stipulations of
approved LARF/LARP will be ensured, in adherence of the SPS and ADB guidelines.
160. Full implementation of Corrective Measures will serve a precondition to launch civil works along the
road section km 31+140 - 46+208 of the M1 highway.

Appendix 2. PMU: E pla atio of ha ges of Proje t LA‘ i pa ts a d o pe satio pri es e erged
duri g the T2 LA‘P i ple e tatio
Explanation of changes of Project LAR impacts and compensation prices emerged during the T2 LARP
implementation
1. For the purpose of contract signing with the APs during LARP implementation it was necessary to split real
estate units and to register in State Committee of the Real Estate Cadaster before the Contract signing.
2. In order to split the real estate units it was necessary to carry out measurement in order to divide the maps.
During the measurement some discrepancies between the previous and present measurement data were
identified (surface to be acquired). According to the specialists this was because of the changes in the
cadastral maps of the communities. In the framework of LARP preparation the measurement was carried out
by Mar-Mos LLC based on the cadastral maps provided by State Committee of the Real Estate Cadaster.
However, they were later changed which resulted in some discrepancies.
3. Based on measurement data some land surfaces to be acquired were changed and some lands were removed
from the acquisition list and others were added.
4. Based on the changes in the measurement data it became necessary to re-valuate real estate on the basis of
measurement and survey results. Besides, measurement was carried out for the newly added land plots. An
appropriate licensed company was recruited to carry out revaluation. Revaluation was done both for private
and community lands. After revaluation compensation prices were changed.
5. After the extensive discussions with ADB, the decision was made to apply the general approach under which
the recalculation according to the unit rates fixed in LARP is needed to address the measurement changes,
but not re-evaluation which can affect the unit prices. The detailed approaches for each type of changes
du i g the LARP i ple e tatio app o ed ADB a d a e p ese ted i Approaches approved by ADB
regarding some cases emerged during the T2 LARP implementation .

Appendix 3. PMU: Approa hes appro ed ADB a d to e appro ed GoA regarding some cases
e erged duri g the LA‘P i ple e tatio
Based on the agreed approach, the followings are a summary of measures or steps to be taken by PMU
when affected losses defined by LARP were changed after verification.
Possible changes and their possible solutions are presented below:
1. If the surface of land plots to be acquired have changed during the LARP implementation.
Recalculation of compensation price will be made using the price for 1m2 fixed by the
valuation report of Mar-Mos LLC and by multiplying it by new surface (see example in Table
1).

Talin 050-028 Pasture 68 680 46.240 53.176 0 53.176
Re-calculation will be made by the PMU specialists according to the above-mentioned formula fixing the
calculation in LARP database (monitoring can be carried out only by checking the database).
2. During LARP implementation new lands to be acquired have been added which do not have
valuation reports:
New valuation will be realized for such lands by the valuation company using sales data for
2011 according to the RA valuation standard and LARF principles and based on the current
measurement and survey data (If the unit rate after valuation is different from the unit rates
for that region fixed in LARP the multiplier for arable lands of Ashtarak region will be applied
according to the LARP.)6
3. During LARP implementation it was identified that the category of lands to be acquired has changed
(purpose of use), it was wrongly presented by Cadaster or previous valuator and needs to be
changed, (e.g. agricultural land should be industrial).
New valuation will be realized for such lands by the valuation company using sale data for
2011 according to the RA valuation standard and LARF principles and based on the current
measurement and survey data (If the unit rate after valuation is different from the unit rates
for that region fixed in LARP the multiplier for arable lands of Ashtarak region will be applied
according to the LARP.)7
4. During LARP implementation the complaints were received from APs regarding the valuation of their
lands/assets. In this case two possible solutions can be applied:
6 This approach was presented by ADB during the preliminary discussion as the only acceptable way of addressing the issue. 7 The same.

48
The PMU will transfer the compensation to court deposit account based on state priority
legislation which requires new valuation (based on current market prices) 1 week prior to
the depositing for launching the court case, or
The PMU initiates the process of review the measurement of affected plots, categorization
of affected assets, and validation of the rates in the LARP.
5. During LARP implementation the complaints were received from APs regarding the incorrect
measurement and/or survey of impacts (land area, structures, improvements on land, crops/trees
etc.) which affects the compensation price. In this case two possible solutions can be applied:
The PMU initiates verification of measurement and/or observation of impacts, and rates in
the final LARP, which lead to a new contract for compensation.
6. During implementation some cases raised when there are obvious mistakes in the asset valuation
prices (including mistakes of technical nature). In this case the valuation reports will be revised and
verified by respective licensed valuation specialists (as a result of verification the unit rates fixed in
LARP for those lands can be changed).
Since changes in impact and corresponding compensation are recorded during LARP implementation,
summary of all these changes will be reflected in the internal and external monitoring reports for LARP.
