Partly due to their poor economic state, and also due to the huge corruption there.

Personally I don't mind that most turks are muslim. Turkey has been a secular state since the early 20ies. They divide government and religion even more than here in Holland.
I hope you don't think Bulgaria gets some money because of the membership in EU?!!! In fact, it must receive financial support for the next several years. But so far the situation is getting worse. I can hardly imagine rich Bulgaria in the near future.
