In accordance with the Law on Gagauz Autonomy adopted in December 1994 by the Parliament of Moldova, 30 settlements are scattered across six regions of the south that have expressed a desire to join Gagauzia at a referendum organized by the government of the country.

In May-June 1995 , elections were held for Bashkan (Head of Gagauzia) and deputies of the National Assembly. The elections of the Bashkan were held in 2 rounds. In the second round, independent candidate G. Tabunshchik won a convincing victory, 64.1% of voters voted for him.

In conditions of economic devastation, more than 280 million lei of accounts payable and millions of millions of non-payments of wages and pensions, interethnic tension, the presence, in addition to the armed formation “Budzhak”, in the hands of the population of hundreds of weapons, while counteracting a significant part of the political class of Moldova, which opposed Gagauz autonomy, G. Tabunshchik managed to combine the efforts of the executive, legislative branch and the public of the region in 1995-1998 . in full accordance with the Law on Gagauzia, the political, territorial and legal formation of autonomy was ensured and the economic revival of the region began. Autonomy has established peace and national harmony.

In the 1996 presidential election in Moldova , in the first round, Gagauzia almost officially supported the candidacy of A. Sangeli and became the only region where more than 40% of voters voted for him. In the second round, G. Tabunshchik actively supported P. Luchinsky , for whom about 70 thousand voters (94%) voted in Gagauzia.

In 1995 - 1999 Gagauzia, within the framework of its powers, pursued an independent, largely different from Chisinau economic and social policy, opposed the implementation of extreme liberal market reforms in the country. The course was taken to preserve and develop in market conditions all the economic and social potential accumulated during the Soviet years. Gagauzia was the only region where the Pamint program, destructive for the agro-industrial complex, carried out in Moldova was not allowed.

The current policy was negatively perceived by the state leadership and in the Bashkan elections in 1999 , the main political forces of the country opposed G. Tabunshchik. The Democratic Party of Moldova, the Lucinschi group and the Communist Party R. Moldov nominated their candidates for the Bashkans, and Tiraspol also counted on its candidate. As a result of the demonstrative joint efforts, the Bashkan elected D. Kroytor in the second round of elections.

In 2000 - 2002 The situation in Gagauzia has become extremely aggravated. The numerous violations and abuses revealed by the Accounts Chamber of Moldova and Gagauzia in the use of budget funds and humanitarian fuel received from Turkey led to a permanent confrontation between the National Assembly and the Executive Committee of Gagauzia. D. Kroytor resigned.

Extraordinary elections of the Bashkan took place in October 2002 , 5 candidates participated in them. However, the elections held on October 6 were declared invalid - 41.4% of voters participated in them, with 50% required by local law. The first two places were taken by G. Tabunshchik - 42.52% and M. Formuzal - 21.05%; Repeated voting took place on October 20. 49.6% took part in them (at the threshold of 34%). Before the vote, two candidates withdrew in favor of M. Formuzal and addressed the voters with a corresponding statement. When the Bashkan re-voted, G. Tabunshchik was elected (50.99% of voters voted for G. Tabunshchik; 43.22% for Formuzal; 5.18% for K. Taushanzhi).

In 2002 - 2006 during the Bashkanism of G. Tabunshchik, noticeable positive changes took place. The economy has grown significantly, more than 3,000 new jobs have been created, Gagauzia was the first in Moldova to complete the gasification of the region.

During this period, Gagauz autonomy was constitutionally enshrined (a special article on Gagauzia was introduced into the Constitution of Moldova); The National Assembly is vested with the right of legislative initiative in the Parliament of Moldova; representatives of Gagauzia in Russia and Turkey were appointed at the embassies of Moldova in these countries; In July 2006 , the first World Congress of the Gagauzians was held, in which representatives of 14 states participated.

In the Bashkan elections in December 2006 , the entire liberal elite of Moldova and part of the Communist Party again opposed G. Tabunshchik, which became the main reason for the defeat of G. Tabunshchik in these elections.
