The Problems of the Bulgarian Turks from the Author and Reader's Column of the Balkan Newspaper (1906-1908)

Summary/Abstract: What problems can The Turks have, who lived in Bulgaria between 1906 and 1908? The year 1908 present the final separation of Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire. We wanted to focus on the problems of the Muslim Turks living in this country, by means of the Balkan, a newspaper of Youth Turks, which has appeared exactly two years before this date in Plovdiv. Our most important sources are the writings, published in the Balkan newspaper, of both Edhem Ruhi, the chief author, and the readers who have sent letters to the newspaper. The view that we saw is different from what we expected when we seriously focus on both the writings of Edhem Ruhi and the letters of readers. Edhem Ruhi and the readers highlighted especially the internal problems of Muslim society as a problem in the newspaper. But the following issues are the most important: partizanship, müftis, schools and foundations. But each one of these problems is closely related to the other. This led to the complications of these problems.
