Abstract

This article studies how and why the policies of the Bulgarian and Romanian states towards Muslim/Turkish minorities differed widely from each other between 1923 and 1936. Minority policies in Bulgaria shifted from tolerance during the Agrarian People's Union government in 1919, to assimilation and repression in the 1930s. In contrast, the Romanian state tolerated and favourably treated Muslim minorities throughout the interwar period. In order to account for this difference, we highlight the influence of Turkey's diplomatic relations on Bulgarian and Romanian state policies towards minorities and the responses of the latter. While Turkish-Bulgarian relations see-sawed, Turkish-Romanian relations constantly improved from the 1920s to 1930s. We argue that, whenever Turkey's diplomatic relations with Bulgaria and Romania ameliorated, Bulgaria's and Romania's minority policies improved. Yet, whenever diplomatic relations deteriorated, so did the minority policies.
外交、国家政策和穆斯林少数民族:土耳其与保加利亚和罗马尼亚的关系(1923–1936)
本文研究了1923年至1936年间,保加利亚和罗马尼亚国家对穆斯林/土耳其少数民族的政策是如何以及为什么存在巨大差异的。保加利亚的少数民族政策从1919年土地人民联盟政府时期的宽容转变为20世纪30年代的同化和镇压。相比之下,罗马尼亚政府在两次世界大战期间容忍并优待穆斯林少数民族。为了解释这种差异,我们强调了土耳其外交关系对保加利亚和罗马尼亚国家对少数民族政策的影响以及后者的反应。从20世纪20年代到30年代,当土耳其和保加利亚的关系出现裂痕时,土耳其和罗马尼亚的关系不断改善。我们认为,只要土耳其与保加利亚和罗马尼亚的外交关系有所改善,保加利亚和罗马尼亚对少数民族的政策就会有所改善。然而,每当外交关系恶化时,少数民族政策也会随之恶化。
