Together But Separated: Stereotypes as Demarcation Line between Alevis and Sunnis in Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: Historically, Turks have not only been engaged in inter-religious conflicts, but also in intrareligious ones. In these conflicts, whether latent or not, stereotypes have played an important role; they have fueled the conflicts, and at the same time been sustained by them. Thus stereotypes have served to draw bold demarcation lines and sharp boundaries between intrareligious groups. The case of Bulgarian Alevis and Sunnis is not an exception to this rule.
