DAY TRIPS
Excursion to Comrat and Ceadir-Lunga
We offer you an excursion dedicated to one of the regions of Moldova: “Gagauzia”. This little-known region is located in the south of Moldova. It is populated by the Gagauz, a Turkish-speaking population largely russified and historically close to the Turks of Anatolia. Thus, they speak a Turkish dialect (but also Russian) and they are Orthodox Christians (and not Muslims).
Gagauzia is an autonomous region located in the south of Moldova. Its administrative capital is Comrat, a city of 26,000 inhabitants. They speak mainly Russian and a Turkish dialect.
Historically, Turkish speakers in Bulgaria, the “Gök-oğuz” or Gagauz, were established here in 1812, among the Moldovans, when the Russian Empire annexed Bessarabia.
The Gagauz referred to the sky hence their original name “Gök-oğuz” (etymologically: blue or celestial tribes).
