History
The first flag of Gagauzia was adopted with a declaration of independence from the Moldavian SSR [2] , with the formation of the Gagauz SSR as part of the USSR [3] (the decision was not supported by the Union Government). On October 7, 1992, Gagauzia again announced its secession from Moldova. and later adopted a new flag similar to the current one, but without stars, to which in 1993 three stars were added located vertically at the flagpole. The flag took a modern look in 1995.
The Law on the Flag of Gagauzia allows the use of a simplified version of the flag, without stars and white stripes, for non-governmental (for example, personal and commercial) use. For government use, only the national flag is valid.
