INFORMATION MESSAGE: OFFICIAL COMMENT BY ILHOM KHO...
On December 10, material on the website of the kun.uz news publication was published under the provocative headline: “Corruption was in the order of things”: ex-MAN manager was tried for bribing Turkmen officials ”:
I would like to contact the authors of this article, or rather, copywriters who, without bothering to check the facts, simply reprinted this material from foreign online publications, decorating the title with the name of the MAN concern, not understanding that it was a matter of completely different companies. In addition, this material published photographs of MAN cars from the Turkmenistan Chronicle website, which also have NO relation to this news.
I, as the regional sales director of MAN Truck and Bus SE in Central Asia, officially declare that the German company MAN GHH Gas & Oil, which is discussed in the article, DOES NOT HAVE ANY RELATION TO MAN Truck and Bus SE. In this regard, the use in this material separately of the abbreviation MAN, which everyone associates with our concern, as well as photographs of our equipment, is illegal and undermines the reputation of our brand.
In this regard, I would like to know for what purpose the authors of the kun.uz publication are engaged in the republishment of foreign publications, while being unreliable? What public response do people want to create with this action in Uzbekistan?
Dear representatives of the “fourth power”!
Please be real journalists, and not just copywriters of strangers, and even more so - false news. Ask for confirmation only to official sources. No need to cover up with “freedom of speech” your incompetence and ignorance of real facts and spoil the good reputation of our brand not only in our republic, but also in neighboring countries.
