Oops my bad. I'm sorry, I never thought about it. So, I don't know.
Do you actually mean in Medieval Era? Because, Ottoman empire existed in Medieval Era and ceased to exist alongside with Medieval Era, and then Turkey was born, if I'm not mistaken.
Salut,
anatolian was wondering if you belong to the Turkish or Tatar minority that lives in North Dobruja (Dobrogea), present day Tulcea and Constanta county. It was part of the Ottoman Empire until 1878, when it was lost in the Russo-Ottoman war, and was ceded to Romania. it used to have sizable (almost 50% if i remember well) muslim population until the end of the 19th century, now it is around 3-4% muslim in Constanta i believe.
i haven't been to Dobruja, but i've met with some Romanian Tatars abroad, they were all nice folks. It was also interesting to see they still preserved strongly the physical features of their Crimean Tatar ancestors.
I have have only been in western part of Romania, Erdély/Ardeal/Transylvania/Erdel, i loved it, it is a sooo beautiful, the mountains, forests and the old historical towns.

Aha, well the answer is that I dont belong to non of minorities, I'm Romanian from Bucharest, I'm not from Dobrogea. Try to visit Constanta, its an awesome city, you can have a nice beach, and you should see that hmwe have a Romanian old ship floating on sea, and sometimes in Constanta have nice water, but be careful not to buy stuff from gypsies, believe me. When I bought once from one of them, I felt really sick.
