In spite o f everything, Bulgarian Turks, who lived in great pain
during these processes, did not lose their sense o f humour and were able to
look at the cases o f forced assimilation and immigration from a humorous
angle producing extremely interesting and valuable works.
In this paper, fine sense o f humour in the majör works o f the Turks
who were born and raised in Bulgaria and who lived the forced migration
and the assimilation ar e examined both artistic and political point o f view.
