Grey wolves were our warfriends and totems in ancient asia many years ago(Timurs were the last who used grey wolves in battle).

One of the interesting Gagauz customs is to greet each other using the sign of the Wolf, a sign today also used in various Turkic countries but not for the same reason.
Among the Gagauz Turks its like shaking each others hands, they will make this sign to greet each other.
Here is Jeno Reno demonstrating it, don't ask me why he's doing it
Thats somewhere in Iran.
Also Baskhortistan use it as a greeting aswell.

Hungarians have Turkic(huns),slavic and fin blood. |
No they don't. It is a common mistake simply because of the name HUNgarian and HUN. The modern Hungarians are descendants of Arpad who crossed from the Carpathian mountains AFTER the huns. Arpad replaced the Huns and founded the Hungarian state ontop of the old Hunnic kingdom. But today many Hungarian look to Attila dn the Huns as equals to Arpad, even though there were not DIRECTLY related to them. Finns are Finno-Ugric and Hungarians are Finno- Ugric also, but there are some big differences.

The Gagauz Turks are Christian, the Chuvash Turks are Christian and we could include the Csangos (catholic) in Romania too.

The Gagauz Turks have an autonomous state in Moldova. They are followers of the "Turkish Orthodox Church". What is interesting about the Gagauz-Gok Oghuz is the importance they hold to their anscestory and the Oghuz Turk legends. Due to them not being Muslim and living in remote areas they didn't really have many other influences. To this day the most importance literatures they hold are the Oghuzname, the Legends of Oghuz Khan, the mythology of the Grey Wolf...
