Turkish minority in Bulgaria isn't inflated at all as even Bulgaria itself declared Turkish minority as 588,318 in 2011 so it was actually way lower than the real numbers!! Also i seriously wonder which non-Christian nation hates Turks in Balkans as Bosnians, Albanians and Kosovo Albanians have very good relations with Turkey??..
And it is correct Turkey doesn't have enough power to spread it's influence worldwide like US or China etc but Turkey has way more than enough power to influence small Balkan countries even then there isn't a strong Turkish influence in Balkans not because Turkey couldn't spread it's influence rather because Turkey didn't!! As despite common nonsense Turkey remained as a very isolationist country for almost 100 years and didn't involve into regional conflicts or problems as much as possible and only acted if it was absolute necessary like Cyprus operation, cross border operations in Iraq, started in 1997 in order to end Kurdish civil war which continued for 3 years and because Turkey ended it in favour of KDP (The biggest Kurdish party in KRG) Turkey and KDP have very good relations since then!! Or Syrian war which caused over 8 million refugees that 4 million of them are in Turkey and started 6 years before a single Turkish soldier entered Syria but according to some ''geniuses'' even then Turkey started it somehow. That same goes for even NATO operations in Bosnia, in fact there was a serious opposition who refused joining the coalition until Serbs started to attack Bosnian civilians...
Also it was just ridiculous you mentioning ''no one speaks Turkish'' due Ottoman never ever forced Turkish language, culture nor Islam on any nation at all which is how those Balkan nations could preserve their own languages, religions and cultures even after centuries long Ottoman rule while you can't find a single place on Earth which didn't become majority Christian after 400 years long european rule, simply because european empires always lacked religious toleration badly which didn't change much even in the twentieth century as we all know what happened during WW2!! So everything went well for Ottoman until 19th century as people could live peacefully under religious Millet system which allowed religious minorities even issuing their own laws, in fact both ''Ottoman tolerance'' and ''The religion of peace'' references come from this era but French revolution changed everything due for Ottoman minorities having religious identities wasn't enough anymore rather they also wanted national identities while Ottoman wasn't officially accepting even Turkish nation rather Turks were considered as a part of Muslim millet!! Ottoman tried to turn Millet system into a national system instead of religious but there wasn't even a common language between those people therefore Ottoman just collapsed rapidly while there wasn't a single homogenous place in Ottoman as people were allowed to live where they wished so there were millions of Muslims in Balkans, Crimea, Circassia and millions of Christians in Anatolia that they all faced countless atrocities and millions got killed or deported but even if Crimean, Balkan and Circassian genocides happened decades before so ''humanist'' and ''liberal'' westerners talk about only Christians for obvious reasons ofc...
