Abstract

This article discusses the importance of Karamanlis literature on the religious development of the Gagauz people. It is noted that until the beginning of the twentieth century Karmelicka literature for the Gagauz was the only opportunity of obtaining religious knowledge in a relatively meaningful way. It is emphasized that it is thanks to her, Gagauz quite a long time to maintain their Orthodox religious identity. It is concluded that the Gagauz national intelligentsia in the face of the clergy involved in the translation of religious literature into the native language, repelled by Karamanlis books.
