Gagauzia, Autonomous region in southern Moldova.
Gagauzia spans across 1,832 square kilometers of Moldovan territory, encompassing three main districts with Comrat serving as its administrative center.
The territory gained its autonomous status on December 23, 1994, following negotiations between local leaders and Moldova during the post-Soviet reorganization period.
The population of 134,132 residents maintains three official languages: Gagauz, a Turkic language, alongside Russian and Romanian for administrative purposes.
The region's economy centers on agricultural production, with numerous vineyards and wine facilities operating throughout the territory's four separate enclaves.
The Gagauz people represent the only Christian Orthodox Turkic group in Europe, maintaining their distinct identity within the Republic of Moldova.
