Gagauzia [pronounced Ga-ga-ooz-i-a], a tiny nation within Moldova, was formerly nicknamed “the guard unit of the Byzantine Empire”; this nation preserved its faith under the Ottoman yoke, although they are ethnic Turks.

"If four of five colleagues in a collective are sound and one is an infectious disease (tuberculosis, cholera, etc.) carrier, then he or she must be isolated and provided with medical treatment. But, from the standpoint of non-discrimination, if the carrier of the infection does not wish to be isolated and put on medication, then he or she is regarded as a victim of discrimination, while his or her colleagues will be fined."
