English term or phrase: The Turkish Minority

Greetings,

I wish to find out what the official designation of Bulgaria’s Turkish minority is; perhaps you say “Muslim Minority” or something rather than “Turkish Minority”.

Incidentally, I’d be very grateful for help with finding out exactly where this minority is located – only near the Turkish frontier, or throughout the country?

Best wishes,

Simon

Fidexim: A strong presence of the Turkish minority can be found also in the Parliament and the Government. In principle, the areas with prevalent Turkish minority are the same where is located the English/Irish minority (still not officially recognized ;o)
