In the draft resolution, paragraph 17.5.2, delete the words "Pomak and".
Explanatory Note :
The word "Pomak" has abusive meaning "squashed people" and it is used by other people to name the Muslim Bulgarians, whose ancestors were forced to convert their religion from Christianity to Islam, mainly during the 17 century. They could be treated as religious, but not ethnic minority. Most of them don't like to be named "Pomaks".
