[edit] Comments
[edit] Expansion suggestions
This one needs a lot more on history and current demographics, as well as sources, pictures, etc. It could be hard based on the relative lack of plausible and in-depth data, but could become the best article on the topic in the Internet.

[edit] Flag
The flag - I have never seen used. In fact I just learned we had such a flag. --Hasanidin 10:50, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
I guess it's s fake. Let's vote to remove it! --Vladko 18:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
- I don't know, let's wait to see if the regular contributors to this article will be able to expand and/or bring additional sources. Baristarim 11:40, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] POV claim
Hi. May I know what POV is reverted by that change? The statements are well supported by references from the US Congress Library. Was it the fact that Bulgraia was conquerred by Ottomans or what? --Petar Petrov 20:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Third party opinion
The edits made by User:Petar Petrov are first the previous version is in italics.
- Occupied versus began to establish .: The latter is an NPOV than occupied.
- Different ethnic groups live in all regions versus Turks of Bulgaria live compactly in two rural areas.: This article is about Turks not different ethnic groups.
- Besides the ethnic Turks (most of them are are Muslims) there are other Muslims in Bulgaria who converted voluntarily or by force [1]. Versus Historical evidence shows that most of the Muslims in Bulgaria originated from outside the Balkans, while the rest were converts from the indigenous population: Besides the double are, I found the former more accurate and encyclopedic than the latter.
- the communist government of Bulgaria, led by Todor Zhivkov, attempted to assimilate the country's ethnic Turks….. versus the communist government of Bulgaria, led by Todor Zhivkov, attempted to forcefully assimilate the country's Turkish minority. After the introduction of the new laws in 1985, the Bulgarian government banned Turkish education and sought to erase Turkish culture and identity : I found the latter explained the Bulgarisation policy much more clearly with the implication that it was forced towards a minority.
- Bulgarian forces and ethnic Turks, as well as several bomb attacks on Bulgarian civilian targets versus There were clashes between Bulgarians (troops, villagers) and members of the Turkish minority: I found the latter clear and to the point.
- Thinic Turks versus Turkish minority. This article si about Turkish minority in Bulgaria not ethnic Turks in general. Hope this helps. Thanks RaveenS 23:11, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

- Any objections to changing the principal title to Turks of Bulgaria rather than the present Turks in Bulgaria. Will be more coherent with similar examples. Cretanforever 10:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Diaspora term
I object to the term diaspora. It implies that we are immigrants and foreigners, whereas in fact we are natives to the land in which we live. --140.180.26.103 21:37, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
