The Turkish Ethnic Group in Bulgaria: History and Problems of Integration
Journal Title: EUROLIMES - Year 2016, Vol 22, Issue 22
Abstract
The Muslim emigration from Bulgaria to Turkey has been going on for more than a century. With some exceptions, the emigrant waves resulted from caused and forced migration. Almost a million Bulgarian ethnic Turks left the country, 390,000 of them only during the period between 1989 and 1997. The International humanitarian organizations qualified this process as the biggest migration of groups of people after the World War II. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the changes of the Bulgarian political strategy towards the Turkish ethnic community over the last three decades. The research focus is on the second biggest Bulgarian ethno-religious minority – the Bulgarian ethnic Turks – its social status, self-identification and participation in the political and social life in Bulgaria.
