Orhan Akcan, President of the Mu\u011fla Y\u00f6r\u00fck Obalar\u0131 Association, stated that they had a delightful time over the three days and spoke about the Gagauz Turks’ hospitality:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cHis Excellency, the Turkish Ambassador to Moldova, and I have known each other for many years. He is a Gagauz Turk. During the \u201cMu\u011fla Y\u00f6r\u00fck T\u00fcrkmen Toyu\u201d held on July 7-8, we invited the Gagauz Turks, who came with a 28-person delegation. It was a wonderful event. Our interactions continued, and they then invited us to the Kas\u0131m festival celebrations.  Our Metropolitan Municipality provided us with transportation support, and I would like to express my gratitude for their assistance. With the support of an assigned colleague from the Tourism Department, we attended with a five-person team. On November 8, we joined the Kas\u0131m celebrations in the C\u0103u\u0219eni district of Chi\u0219in\u0103u. Each village sets up a tent, prepares the best local dishes, and the atmosphere turns into a true carnival. We wore our regional costumes and participated in the festivities. It was such an amazing event that we were deeply connected with the local people. When they heard that we had come from Turkey, they were overjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akcan expressed the deep connection between the Gagavuz Turks and their shared roots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“On the evening of November 8, Anatoliy Topal, the Mayor of \u00c7ad\u0131r-Lunga, organized a meeting with the heads of neighboring districts. We exchanged ideas, and they emphasized our shared origins. Before leaving, we made a special banner featuring the Turkish and Moldova flags. It had the message: ‘Your blood brothers from Turkey have come; happy Kas\u0131m Yort.’ The local community showed great interest in it. It was a beautiful event. On November 9, we visited the capital, where we received even more attention because we were wearing our traditional regional attire.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
