According to the letter, Party of Regions representatives are confident that the government is going to privatize the state property in the volumes, which will destabilize the market, and lead to depreciation of assets due to the absence of an appropriate legal securing of the privatization processes and privatization programs, under conditions of worsening the conjuncture at the world stock market.

According to his opinion, the current privatization is prompt, unprepared, does not take into account all negative consequences, and will lead to loss of control over strategic objects.

Particularly, V.Yanukovych believes that the privatization of Turboatom OJSC is inadmissible, because it is a unique enterprise not only on the scale of the country but also the world.
