Turkey, with her economy, foreign policy, democratic structure and reforms, has ascended as a country which is followed with appreciation and attention all over the world.

For sure, we achieved this by believing, trusting in ourselves with self-confidence.

We are doing in the same way. How it was done, how it was achieved in the history is a foundation for us.

We are succeeding in the same way.

Turkey considers Moldova as an important cooperation partner and a close friend country in the Region.

Within the relations with Moldova, Gagauzia has a special importance for Turkey due to our language and cultural ties with its people.

We believe the presence of Gagauz people is an enriching and consolidating factor in our relations with Moldova.

• Gagauzes, a small Turkic population, today mostly lives in primarily Moldova, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.

• Gagauzes speak Anatolian Turkish with their own accents and variant sentence formations.

• According to Gagauzian sources, there are about 250.000 Gagauz people around the world. Among them, 170.000 Gagauzes live mainly in Moldova and mostly in the southern regions of the country.


5

• The Gagauzia region is mainly an agricultural region. Viticulture and fruits are the leading agricultural products. The household income of the Regionis low. The life standard in the region is lower than the Moldovan average. Weak industry, agriculture based economy and sporadic drought lead economic underdevelopment in the Gagauzia.

• 4% of Moldova’s population (totally about 4 million) consists of Gagauzes.


6

• During the “Referendum on Independence” in December 1991, 80% of Gagauz people voted for establishment of “Republic of Gagauzia.

• The administration established by Gagauz people was not recognized by central authorities of Moldova; however, the parties did not break the ties and searched for a peaceful solution to the dispute.

• In order to find a solution, the Moldovan Government prepared a draft law in the late 1992 and initiated negotiations with the Gagauz Party. The negotiation process continued for about 2 years.

• Unlike the separatist Transnistria movement in Moldova, the Gagauzes did not insist on “state status” and this facilitated the negotiations regarding the special status of “Gagauzia”.

• The Parliament of Moldova ratified the “Law on Special Legal Status of Gagauzia” in the framework of 111th Article of the new Moldovan Constitute, (27 August 1994) envisaging that special status could be given to Transnistria and Gagauzia on 23 December 1994.

• Turkey pays special importance on the relations with Gagauzia and considers Gagauz people as a bridge consolidating the relations with the Republic of Moldova.

• Governor of Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia, Republic of Moldova Mr. Mihail Formuzal and his accompanying delegation visited H.E. Minister of Health Prof. Dr. Recep Akdağ in the Ministry of Health on 29 January 2009.
