Gagauzia Conflict
The Gagauzia conflict (; ) was a conflict between the Moldavian SSR and posteriorly the independent Republic of Moldova and their Gagauz population, which sought further autonomy within Moldova. It culminated in the declaration of the Gagauz Republic, separate from Moldavia, with the aim of remaining within the Soviet Union; however, following the latter's dissolution, the Gagauz Republic became a '' de facto'' independent state. It was formally reintegrated into Moldova in 1995, when Gagauzia was officially recognized as an " autonomous territorial unit" within the country. History In the autumn of 1989, during the final years of the Soviet Union, Moldavian, the name of the time for Romanian, written in the Latin alphabet, was recognized as the single official language of the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic.

Post-Soviet Conflicts
This is a list of the crisis, crises and wars in the Post-Soviet states, countries of the former Soviet Union following its Dissolution of the Soviet Union, dissolution in 1991. Those conflicts have different origins but two primary driving factors can be identified : ethnic and cultural tensions (which underlie many of the conflicts in the Caucasus and Central Asia), and Russian irredentism, meaning Russia's policies to restore its historical sphere of influence, much of which was lost after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, collapse of the Soviet Union. Ethnic and cultural tensions Ethnic and cultural tensions in the Post-Soviet states, post-Soviet space largely have their roots in the territorial delineations established during the early Soviet period (1920s–1930s), particularly through the policy of so-called National delimitation in the Soviet Union, national-territorial delimitation (in russian language, Russian: национально-территориально ...

Confederation
A confederation (also known as a confederacy or league) is a political union of sovereign states united for purposes of common action. Usually created by a treaty, confederations of states tend to be established for dealing with critical issues, such as defence, foreign relations, internal trade or currency, with the central government being required to provide support for all its members. Confederalism represents a main form of intergovernmentalism, defined as any form of interaction around states that takes place on the basis of sovereign independence or government. The nature of the relationship among the member states constituting a confederation varies considerably. Likewise, the relationship between the member states and the general government and their distribution of powers varies. Some looser confederations are similar to intergovernmental organization, international organisations. Other confederations with stricter rules may resemble federal systems. These elements o ...

Dniester
The Dniester ( ) is a transboundary river in Eastern Europe. It runs first through Ukraine and then through Moldova (from which it more or less separates the breakaway territory of Transnistria), finally discharging into the Black Sea on Ukrainian territory again. Names The name ''Dniester'' derives from Sarmatian ''dānu nazdya'' "the close river". (The Dnieper, also of Sarmatian origin, derives from the opposite meaning, "the river on the far side".) Alternatively, according to Vasily Abaev ''Dniester'' would be a blend of Scythian ''dānu'' "river" and Thracian ''Ister'', the previous name of the river, literally Dān-Ister (River Ister). The Ancient Greek name of Dniester, ''Tyras'' (Τύρας), is from Scythian ''tūra'', meaning "rapid". The names of the Don and Danube are also from the same Iranian word ''*dānu'' "river". Classical authors have also referred to it as ''Danaster.'' These early forms, without -''i''- but with -''a''-, contradict Abaev's hypoth ...

Gagauz Halkı
Gagauz Halkı (meaning "Gagauz People" in the Gagauz language) was a Gagauz cultural and political organisation in Moldova. It originated as a cultural club in the Gagauz capital Comrat and initially supported the Popular Front of Moldova. However, the Popular Front's shift towards Romanian nationalism and Moldova-Romania unification caused Gagauz Halkı to turn and support Gagauz autonomy within and later separation from the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic. Moldovan authorities consequently declared Gagauz Halkı an illegal organisation in 1990. Gagauz Halkı supported the separatist side in the Gagauzia conflict, which was resolved with the intervention of the Red Army and the establishment of the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia. History Gagauz Halkı originated as a Gagauz cultural club in the Gagauz political capital of Comrat, founded amid Moldova's move towards independence (1988–1989). In early May 1989, it was transformed into an umbrella association o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
