Wikipedia: Pomaks, are a Muslim population group native to some parts of Bulgaria, specifically southern Bulgaria, Turkey, specifically European Turkey, Macedonia, Greece, Kosovo, and Albania. Members of the group today declare a variety of ethnic identities, Bulgarian and Pomak or Muslim. They are usually considered descendants of native Bulgarians who converted to Islam during the Ottoman rule of the Balkans, although some alternative narratives of their historical identity have been proposed and, according to some authors, their precise origins remain unknown.
