Abstract:

The Ottoman Empire had placed the Turks on the Balkan territory it conquered in the West. The 1877-1878 Ottoman-Russian Wars led to the loss of the territory of Bulgaria. The Turks, who lived in peace under the Ottoman rule, were forced to leave their territory as a result of the misconduct they saw. The wave of immigration continued with intervals. In 1944, 250,000 Turkish migrants were requested as an obstacle to the one-national policy, along with the regime change in Bulgaria. The notary exchange between Bulgaria and Turkey eventually migrated hundreds of thousands of Turks to Turkey. The Bulgarian government understood that it could not withdraw the Turks from Bulgaria, with Stalin's instructions, stopped the immigration. The plan to use Turkish and Turkish schools to adopt a new regime to the Turks and to export Communism to Turkey has entered into force. During the period of Çervenkov, significant freedoms were provided in the field of Turkish education and Turkish publication. Turkish teachers were seen as the key to educating Turkish students who adopted the Marxist-Leninist ideology. But this free environment ended with the real face of the regime in the period of Jivkov. Turkish schools are closed and Turkish teachers are dismissed. Turkish students were misleaded by claims that they entered the university with advantages and were dangerous. Turkish teaching books were burned. This study examined the stages of Turkish education during the period of the communist regime in Bulgaria, the changes in the structure of Turkish schools, the policy of the Bulgarian state to make the Turkish Communism faithful citizens through Turkish publications.
