Welcome to Comrat- Capital of Gagauzia

Gagauzia, formerly known as the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Moldova, today is an autonomous region in South-Eastern Moldova, at the border to the Republic of Ukraine. The Gagauz make up 82 percent of the region’s population of 137,500. The Gagauz are one of the once numerous Oguzian tribes that settled in the South-Western part of Europe in the 11th century, who speak the Gagauz language and are mostly Eastern Orthodox Christians.
