- 1991 May 10, Todur Zanet, “Gagauzlar çekiler türk soyundan”, in Ana Sözü[1]:
- Görersin mi, paalı okuycu, ani diil salt bitki kırk yılın içindä bizi yok etmää savaşmışlar, ama bütün istoriyamızda da. Salt bir iş güç, ani dedelerimiz, atalarımız o savaşa karşı durabilmişlär, biz sä, onnarın evlatları, bitki otuz-kırk yıl içindä kaybetmişik hepsini, neleri binnärlän yıl bizä deyni soy senselemiz korumuş. Büün istoriya verer bizä bir şans diriltmää deyni kendimizi. O şansı kullanmarsak – kayıp olacez. Yazık!
- As you see, dear reader, it isn't that they only tried to destroy us in the last forty years, but they are still trying to in our day. Only one thing is hard, our grandparents, our ancestors could withstand that endeavor, but we, their children, lost it all in the last forty years, those which our bloodline and our kin protected. Today, history is giving us a chance to revive ourselves. If we don't use that chance, we'll disappear. What a shame!
- Synonym: çalışmaa
