Bulgaria's Turks in the 1980s: a minority endangeredFootnote1In writing this article I was honoured to enlist the help of many people, to whom I owe enormous gratitude. Among them are Jenny Engström at the London School of Economics for numerous materials and conceptual guidance, Selçuk Colacoglu at Adnan Menderes University for linking me with migrants in Turkey who left Bulgaria in 1989, Chetin Kazak at the National Assembly of Republic of Bulgaria for providing me with the valuable documentary publication of surviving communist party archives, Tatiana Vaksberg for letting me see her “Technology of evil” within a very short notice, the people at the local Targovishte office of the Movement for Rights and Freedoms for their timely translation of several materials I received from Turkey and my interviewees whom I have been asked to keep anonymous. Last, but not least, I would like to thank my parents Malina and Dragomir, with whom I spent many hours discussing the article, for their revealing accounts of particular events in the 1980s. I attribute all the value of the article to these people.
