The Roma in Plovdiv

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Roma in Plovdiv live in four areas: Stolipinovo, Sheker Mahala, Hadji Hassan Mahala and Arman Mahala. According to the official census, around 27 000 Roma live in the Plovdiv region. However, the real numbers of Roma in Plovdiv are higher, because many Romani people declare themselves to be of Turkish or different origin. The real Roma population in Plovdiv is considered to be close to 80 000. This figure represents 20% of the population of Plovdiv.[1]
