The chairman of the Parliament of Gagauzia called Moldova's goal the destruction of autonomy

Moldova's goal is to destroy the autonomy of Gagauzia. This was announced on April 15 by Dmitry Konstantinov, Chairman of the People's Assembly (Parliament) of the region, at an extraordinary meeting.

"We see another fact of infringement of our rights by the leadership of our republic. This is just the beginning. Today, the goal is to destroy the autonomy of Gagauzia," Sputnik's Telegram channel quoted him as saying.

Konstantinov called for help from Turkey, which in 1994 became the guarantor of the implementation of the law on the special legal status of the Gagauz Autonomy. He clarified that Comrat intends to report on Chisinau's actions to the UN Security Council and the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe.

On the same day, Ilya Uzun, the first deputy head of Gagauzia, said that the autonomy would require an external audit in order to restore legality and protect the rights of the region. He called the decision of the Constitutional Court of Moldova to deprive Gagauzia of the authority to appoint an autonomous prosecutor illegal and politically motivated.

On April 14, the Constitutional Court of Moldova deprived Gagauzia of the authority to appoint an autonomous prosecutor. The head of the court, Domnica Manole, said that the decision is final and begins to take effect from the moment it is published in the Official Monitor. The leader of the Victory bloc, Ilan Shor, in turn, called the decision an encroachment on the status of autonomy. The deputy head of the region, Viktor Petrov, called the adopted measure a blow to the status of the Gagauz autonomy.

The head of the region, Eugenia Gutsul, called on the Moldovan opposition to join forces in the struggle for the autonomous status of the region. According to her, the decision of the Constitutional Court was a step not only towards the liquidation of Gagauzia, but also towards the establishment of full control of the Action and Solidarity party over justice in Moldova.
