Gutsul said last week that the autonomous region will declare independence if Moldovan authorities decide to unite with Romania.
"I hope it will not come to this. I hope for the common sense of our authorities. But if it comes to this, we will appeal to all countries, of course, including the Russian Federation," Gutsul said when asked a relevant question.
Moldova's autonomous region of Gagauzia sees no prerequisites that Russia wants to attack Moldova despite statements being made by authorities in Chisinau, Gutsul also said.
Moldovan authorities are doing everything to create a worrisome atmosphere in the country, she said, adding that residents constantly hear about some "call of conscripts" and agreements with NATO.
"The President of the Republic of Moldova [Maia Sandu], during international trips, discusses some kind of military conflicts, that Russia wants to attack Moldova, although we do not see such prerequisites," Gutsul said.
Gutsul also stated that although Gagauzia wants to remain a part of Moldova it will "take measures" if the country's authorities decide to unite with Romania.
"If Moldova will go for rapprochement with Romania ... of course, we will take some measures because we want to be, to live in the independent Republic of Moldova," Gutsul said.
