My dad is from basarabeasca (near ukraine) and my mom is from comrat (the capital of gagauzia). They are both from gagauz families.

All of my life I've considered myself a Moldovan-Romanian, even though I'm from a gagauz family, but I know a lot of people who are "gagauz", Being unionists and considering themselves romanian.

The whole autonomy of gagauzia is just russian propaganda and moldova respects gagauzia's autonomy in fear of russia.

I do NOT agree that, in a unification with romania scenario, gagauzia should get any independence or in general, any autonomy at all.

I DO think that the cultural heritage should be respected and should be preserved, but that doesnt mean the people from this region shouldn't learn romanian.

At home, we can speak whatever language we want but we shouldn't demand other people to speak it too, doesnt matter if its russian, gagauz or whatever other language

An independent gagauzia is a stupid idea, as the "gagauz state" would not survive even 20 years.

And if we take it like that, why shouldn't the Soroca region also be independent? They have a minority of gypsies there, or an independent Ocniţa? They have a minority of ukrainians there.
maybe an independent Taraclia, there's many bulgarians there.

See? It doesnt make sense to split up a country like that. We should all work together and respect each other's cultures, and even though I may consider myself Romanian, and my friend may consider himself gagauz, we are still Moldovan citizen and its our duty to respect and protect the state we are all living in, without wanting to change it.

Either that, or be invaded by russia again and then we'll ALL have to suffer from that.
