THE DARK SIDE OF TURKEY-BULGARIA ROUTE

Abstract

Illegal affairs and dark relationships can always be encountered in any place. International links and officials can also be seen in these illegal affairs. When the communists came to power in Bulgaria in 1944, there were a significant minority of Turks. Refugee Turks arrived in the following years and some Turks from Turkey began to participate in illegal affairs in Bulgaria. The cooperation in the underground worlds of Bulgaria and Turkey, which are at opposite ends of the cold war period, is remarkable. Why do those who participate in illegal affairs in Turkey flee to Bulgaria or other Balkan countries? In this study, illegal affairs and dark relations in Turkey and Bulgaria has been discussed. Turks are the most important ethnic minority in Bulgaria. However, Bulgaria allowed Turks from Turkey involved in illegal affairs to enter the country. At the same time, black propaganda was made in the publications of the Communist Party. It was aimed to create chaos in Turkey’s internal and foreign policy. A negative perception of Turkey was formed. Turks carried on their illegal affairs and dark relations after the communist period. Bulgaria is a crucial exit point between east and west in the arms and drug trafficking. Official confessions made in Bulgaria after the communist period give clues about illegal affairs and the system of dark relations.
