In this paper, the author explores the genetic diversity and population-genetic history of the population of the Dnieper-Carpathian region - Moldavian, Romanian, Gagauz, Ukrainians.
On page 39 there is a table Y-chromosome haplogroup frequencies (%) and haplogroup diversity in six Dniester-Carpathian populations studied (frequency (%) of Y chromosome haplogroups and haplogroup diversity in the six Dniester-Carpathian populations studied)
Let me remind you that the degree of genetic affinity of peoples is determined by the degree of similarity in the frequency of occurrence of haplogroups, as described in the work of Balanovsky
In particular, from this table we see differences (especially Romanians with Ukrainians and Romanians with Gagauzes) of these populations in terms of frequency of occurrence of haplogroups, and similarities (especially western Moldavans from Karahasani with Gagauzes, and also western Moldavians from Karahasani with Ukrainians of Transnistria).
In particular, the Türkic-speaking Gagauzians demonstrate an almost complete lack of connection with the Turkic peoples and almost complete identity with south-western Moldovans (from Karahasani). This testifies to the closest genetic relationship of the Gagauzians with the Moldovans, and not with the Turks. This is also said at the beginning of page 56 and on page 64.
This is not surprising, because languages are often transmitted by borrowing from other peoples (for example, from nomads), and the true origin of the people can be clarified only with the help of the exact sciences - genetics and physical anthropology (using other sciences as auxiliary).
Стр. 64:
Moldavians, Gagauzians and Ukrainians (studied by the author) occupy an intermediate position between the Balkan-Carpathian (Romanians, Serbs, Bosniaks, etc.) and Eastern European (Belarussians, Poles, Western Russians, etc.) populations.
