In the present study,
the paper titled "The Reminiscence and Political Use of the Rebirth
Process During the Transition Period" written by Prof. Dr. Evgeniya
Kalinova, a lecturer at the Faculty of History of Kliment Ohridski in Bulgaria
was translated into Turkish and analyzed. Kalinova's study portrays different
viewpoints of the state administration, the academic and political elite, a
vast majority of public and the Bulgarian governments towards the rebirth
process and assimilation attempt. Kalinova has many studies and scientific
works on Bulgarian Turks and cultural and political interactions between the
Bulgarian and Turkish communities, minority politics of the Bulgarian
governments and issues regarding the Bulgarian Muslims are at the center of
these studies. The period of 1990-2010 during which transition from socialism
to capitalism in the Republic of Bulgaria took place was called the
"transition period" for the scientific publications in Bulgaria and
in her study, Kalinova examined this period full of economic and political
turmoil in two periods; the first transition period (1990-2001) and second
transition period (2001-2009). In Kalinova's work, while, the bravery of the
Bulgarian people and the Bulgarian politicians to face the national history,
their self-criticism and the social tolerance were questioned, on the other
hand, the impact and reflection of the cultural life of the assimilation
attempts on the culturel life applied to the Bulgarian Muslims through
concerts, cinema, theater and similar artistic activities were discussed. Since
the number of published scientific studies in Turkey related to ethnic policies
pursued by the Bulgarian government during the rebirth process and post-socialist
period is scarce, the work written down by Kalinova becomes all the more
important.
