Abstract
BULGARİSTAN’DAKİ MÜSLÜMAN AZINLIKLARIN STATÜSÜ (1908-1919) Bulgaristan’ın 1878’de Osmanlı Devletinden ayrılma sürecine girmesiyle, bu topraklarda kalan Müslümanlar azınlık statüsüne geçmistir. Bulgaristan Prensligi’nde Ortodoks Hıristiyanlıgın devlet dini kabul edilmesiyle Müslüman cemaat, büyüklük bakımından Bulgarlardan sonra ülkenin birinci dini azınlıgı olmustur. 1878’den sonra yapılan uluslar arası antlasma ve teminatlarda Bulgaristan’daki Müslüman azınlıkların siyasi, dini, egitim, kültürel hak ve hukukları konu olmustur. Bulgaristan’daki Müslüman azınlıkları statüleri, vakıf malları, dini yönetimleri ile Bulgaristan’ın oldugu gibi Türkiye’nin de politikasında yer alarak Türk-Bulgar iliskilerinde bir belirleyen olmaları bakımından önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalısmada anlasma ve nizamnameler çerçevesinde 1908-1919 yılları arasında Bulgaristan’daki Müslüman azınlıkların siyasi, dini ve egitim hak ve hukukları gün ısıgına çıkarılmaya çalısılmıstır. Söz konusu 11 yıllık süreç içerisinde Bulgaristan’daki Müslüman azınlıklarına çok genis haklar tanındıgı, ancak bu hakların tam anlamıyla uygulanamadıgı görülmektedir.
