		The Gagauz are very happy with their present status because autonomy on the part of the Gagauz has been taken as a way of pursuing the aim of consolidating the people's intellectual potential for self-preservation and self-survival.
		It is a land of sincere and hospitable Gagauz people; an ancient Turkish people coming from the 12th century with a consistent aspiration for self-preservation and who have succeeded to procure territorial and national autonomy.
		Against some reservations that the Gagauz would never be able to survive as a nation, without an independent territory, a sovereign state, written official history, single alphabet and being scattered into the borders of many states, today, they have demonstrated that, national feelings being impenetrable and consistent, any destination can be achieved.

	Hülya Demirdirek - The painful past retold: Social memory in Azerbaijan and Gagauzia - AnthroBase
		This report provoked a Gagauz reaction in an attempt to show that they were not an ethnic minority (etnicheskiy men´shinstvo) but a people (narod).
		The Gagauz leadership in Komrat and the Moldovan government in Chisinau reached agreement in December 1994 on autonomy for Gagauzia, thereby ending a five-year struggle which had witnessed the existence of a self-proclaimed republic.
		The Gagauz, in contrast, seem predisposed to weaker and less definite expressions of nationalism, since they have the same religious background as their neighbours, and have no larger non-Soviet community with which they may identify unambiguously.
