1989 expulsion of Turks from Bulgaria

Okay, so imagine you have a bunch of people living in a big house. Some of these people are named Bulgarians, and some of them are named Turks. They all used to be friends and live together peacefully, but then they start to have disagreements and fights.

One day, the Bulgarians decide they don't want the Turks to live in the house anymore. So, they tell all the Turks they have to leave and go live somewhere else.

The Turks are really upset about this because they have lived in the house for a long time and don't want to leave their friends and their home. But the Bulgarians insist, and so the Turks pack up their things and go to a different country.

This is what happened in Bulgaria in 1989. The Bulgarian government decided they didn't want Turks living in their country anymore, so they forced them to leave. It was really sad and unfair, just like when you have to move away from your friends and home.
