Romanian, until the first quarter of the XX. Century was the country that was tolerant of the Turkish minority living within the Balkan countries. This was not subjected to genocide or assimilation by Romanian governments.

As long as the source of the problems in the Kingdom of Romania was not the Romanian government, the ineffectiveness and inadequacy of the Romanian government affected the comfort of the Turks who were forced to immigrate to Turkey as the main residence. The only lucky side of the Turks who migrated from Romania was the fact that due to the understanding and tolerance of the Romanian government, they have taken their movable goods with them.
