     The study refers to one of the most enduring consequences of the Ottoman imperial policy — the conversion of Balkan Christians. The monograph focuses on the status of the Bulgarian-speaking Muslims in Western Thrace (Northern Greece) located at the crossroads of linguistic, national and religious borders. The Cold War period is analyzed when Western Thrace is a “hot spot” between NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
