In Bulgaria, because of the descent of the Slavs, there is a linguistic first of all influence and less racial. Since tankistabg is nationalist and consider the anthropological and genetical views much as ALL the nationlists, lets see what Bulgarians said as about the Bulgarian racial structure

Mediterranean stlzlcture, which is due to a higher percentage of proslavic population and closer encounters with the Mediterranean people. On the other hand, northern Bulgaria, given its closer encounters with eastern Slavic and Proslavic (Skythian and Sarmatic) poprtlations of the Black Sea, is more affected by the Pontian variety of Mediterrenean (more brachycephalic and discoloured)

Consequently northern Bulgaria has a Mediterranean (Thracian) basis, but with an Alpine and Dinaric admixture (brachycrany and broad face), while the relative discoloration comes from the northern Mediterranean Protoslavs. In the 7th century Bulgaria suffered a Turkish-Tatarian invasion, which brought to the country a Mongolian admixture. Bulgaria suffered two other mixtures with the Turktatars.
In the 14th century the Turks brought Tatars to eastern Bulgaria as guards, and at the beginning of the 19th century with Russia's invasion of Bessaravia-a new wave of Tatars entered the country, while tens of thousands of Bulgarians emigrated to southern Russia. These recent Tatarian infiltrations have left strong mongolic-touranic characteristics in the northeastern zone of the country. Popov's extensive anthropological research in 1959 found that there is indeed a series of differences between northern and southern Bulgaria.
southern Bulgaria:

| it is more common to find a combination of characteristics that corresponds to the Mediteranean race, a combination that is from the Neolithic period the basis of the population. This combination is found to a large degree in the south. Even more common is the Mediteranean combination in the southeast, that is, in the Thracian Valley, in the Maritsa Valley, and on the shores of the Black Sea. |
northern Bulgaria:

Of course Popov avoid to say clearly the Mongolian(Tatarian) influence to the Nortthern people and remain only to the linquistic fact only. So anyone can see that Bulgarians racially is a mix of people. People who are not racially related cannot become nationally related.
As about the name Bulgarians exept the known Volga thory there is and one other one.The theory that the Bourgarioi were people living on the borders of the Roman Empire who guarded the "bourga" (castles), and because of them, those who resided on the shores of the Istros River were called "Burgarians". Indeed, even from +200 the residents of that area were called Burgarians as a Greek inscription found in Phillipoupoli and now housed in the Sofia museum proves.
Tankistabg just remember that stormfront lines are not acceptable in this forum.And as you are a follower of the Bulgarian nationalism dont by-pass it.
