Press articles are currently commenting on critical allegations concerning Bouygues' activities in Turkmenistan. Published by Wikileaks, the criticisms are said to have been made by American diplomats. The Bouygues Group wishes it be known that these allegations are defamatory. Like many international firms, Bouygues works in Turkmenistan under normal conditions without engaging in unlawful practices.

Bouygues makes all reservations as to the motives that have led to the publication of such allegations.
