Gagauz Halkı ("Gagauz People") was a Gagauz separatist political party in Moldova.[3] It was led by Stepan Bulgar [ro] from at least as early as 1992 until at least as recently as 1999, after which the organization ceased to be listed by the CIA World Factbook.[4] The Moldovan government outlawed the party two days after declaring such political movements to be unconstitutional.[5]

The party supported the 1991 Soviet coup d'etat attempt and strongly opposed the possible idea of the unification of the Moldovan SSR and Romania.[6]
