It traces the development of the Turkish Muslim community in Bulgaria from its origins in the 14th century, its growth during the Ottoman period, and the policies of the various Bulgarian governments towards the Turkish minority during this century, with particular emphasis on the assimilation programme of the Zhivkov regime, up to the change of government in January 1990.
