Why this mosque was not destroyed by communist Bulgaria? There was Muslim cemetery (Gravestones was written in Arabic script) beside to mosque, is it still there? Is Marie Muslim? --92.113.58.78 (talk) 07:02, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

And when was communist Bulgaria destroying mosques? I mean, it was an atheist country, yes, it was negatively disposed against religion, but they only persecuted some Catholics as far as I know, because they were perceived as a "western capitalist threat". Anyways, this is not a mosque, it's only a minaret and there's a Christian chapel too: the Romanian queen was a Bahá'í. As a whole, the place is very eclectic, with some Moorish, Arabic, Roman-Byzantine, Ottoman, Transylvanian and Bulgarian motifs. I have no information about a Muslim cemetery nearby, but it's possible that one exists: according to the Romanian census of 1930, Balchik was then inhabited by 11,013 Bulgarians, 7,178 Romanians/Aromanians, 4,590 Gagauz (Orthodox Christian Turkic-speaking people), but also by 2,713 Turks and 715 Tatars. So it's very likely that the Muslim minority in the town had its cemetery. Todor→Bozhinov 10:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
