At the end of last week, a series of materials appeared online citing an anonymous source in the Antimonopoly Committee regarding changes in the ownership structure of the AMAKO company.
AMAKO officially announces that no negotiations regarding the sale of the company's stake have taken place since its inception, are not currently ongoing, and are not planned. This is in contrast to the information published in several media outlets, including the Ukrainian News agency, Utro.ua, Vlasti.NET, From-ua.com, and others.Alexander Yanukovych may buy a stake in AMAKO.), about the possible sale of a 40% stake in AMAKO, is not true and is an absolute lie.
The company is transparent and regularly publishes corporate news and assessments of the state of the agricultural business on its official website. Media representatives know that AMAKO always adheres to a policy of openness in corporate communications. In our opinion, this is precisely why the commissioned information did not resonate with journalists. Specifically, the press service received no requests for refutation or confirmation of the absurd narrative in the commissioned articles.
In our opinion, false publications are a manifestation of either unfair competition among the media, when fictitious "sensations" are published for the sake of ratings, or unfair competition in the agricultural business, when companies that have confidently held leading positions in the market for many years attempt to damage their reputation.
AMAKO hopes that the futility of such dishonest tactics will become clear to all. We remain committed to collaborating with media representatives and encourage all inquiries regarding the company's activities to be directed to the press service. The company's press service is grateful to all journalists for their professional approach to covering AMAKO's activities. We believe that truthful and objective information is the foundation for building the open democratic society we all strive for, a development that both media representatives and business representatives should contribute to.
Significantly, a wave of "dirty" publications, clearly bearing all the hallmarks of a paid-for campaign, appeared on the eve of September 6, 2014—the congress of the Agrarian Party of Ukraine, of which Vitaliy Skotsyk, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of the AMAKO Group of Companies, is a deputy chairman. Moreover, those who commissioned the reports anticipated the events and predicted that Vitaliy Skotsyk would be elected party chairman.
We officially announce that, despite the full support of the congress delegates, Vitaly Skotsyk did not put forward his candidacy for party chairman, and no vote was held at the congress.
"Public demand for new-quality people in politics is extremely high, and this just demand is perceived as a threat to those who have been in power for many years. It's clear that for them, power is a guarantee of avoiding responsibility for their actions. Therefore, not only is the legislative mechanism that would permanently deprive them of the right to represent the Ukrainian people being blocked, but also the very emergence of new people—professionals, patriots, and those far removed from any kind of schemes and shady deals. It's quite difficult to cast doubt on the integrity of such people, especially during the tight election campaign, so they immediately resort to the most vile provocations," says Vitaliy Skotsyk.
