ABSTRACT

In December 1994 the Moldovan parliament adopted a law granting the Gagauz region a special status that allows for its secession from Moldova in the event of a change in the republic’s legal status, such as reunification with Romania. The Gagauz region was to have three official languages (Gagauz, Moldovan and Russian) and its own anthem, emblem and flag (CDSP, 1995, vol. XLVII, no. 16).
