The Bulgarian Turks in Turkey represent a community of

Balkan Turks who had to escape persecution.[2][3]
And moreover, part of them continue to be dual citizens of Bulgaria and Turkey, which makes them a natural bridge between the two countries.

Origins

Bulgarian Turks are descendants of Asian settlers who came across the narrows of the

Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878
