Gagauzia (or Gagauz-Yeri) is an autonomous region within Moldova inhabited by the Gagauz, a Turkic people who are ethnically and culturally distinct from other Moldovans. The population is approximately 169,000, of which about 82.5 percent are ethnic Gagauz. Comrat is the largest city, with over 40 percent of the region's total population (approx. 75,000).
Territorial changes in the region put part of Gagauzia under Moldavian administration (Romanian administration after 1859, when Moldavia united with Wallachia).
The elections for the National Assembly of the Region of Gagauzia were conducted. An end to the five-year conflict between Moldova and Gagauzia was officially declared.
