Rakı in Turkey, Rakia in Albania or Ouzo in Greece. There are slight differences between them, but Rakı is the original and the best one!
What rakı means to a Turk, is the same as what wódka means to a Pole.
Raki? That's the stuff I bought in Albania. Or was it rakia?

History / What do Poles think about Turks? [761]
A lot happened back in times between Bulgarians and Turks:
But after the fall of Soviets, relations between Turkey and Bulgaria started to change. They see each other as a strategic partner now and Bulgaria supports Turkey's accession to EU.
I have many many Bulgarian and Turkish friends from Bulgaria and it is "rare" to see hate speech. Nowadays there are more then 800K Turks living in Bulgaria!
I have a Bulgarian housemate and he doesn't seem to like Turks. Why? Did Turks rape Bulgarians?
A lot happened back in times between Bulgarians and Turks:
The first program of assimilation of the Turkish minority started under Zhivkov administration.
5. Organising social pressure upon the Turkish minority (unemployment) and pushing them to migrate to Turkey.
Those measures affected nearly 1.5 million people. The majority of them was forced to accept the imposed measures. Some Turkish intellectuals collaborated with the authorities; others founded an illegal resistance movement, which turned following the collapse of the Communist regime, into the current political party: The Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF).
