Vazovo (Bulgarian: Вазово, formerly Ески Балабанлар, Turkish: Eski Balabanlar) is a village in northeastern Bulgaria, part of the Isperih Municipality of Razgrad Province, located in the central part of the Ludogorie region. Vazovo has an area of 20.843 km2.[1] The closest villages to Vazovo are Sveshtari to the south and Raynino to the north. In the period 1913-1916 and again between 1919 and 1940, when Southern Dobrudzha was under Romanian control, the Bulgarian-Romanian border passed just north of the village. In 1934 the village was renamed Vazovo, after the Bulgarian writer Ivan Vazov. Vazovo “Eski Balabanlar” has been a Turkish settlement since early 14th century[citation needed], most who migrated to Turkey in between 1900 and 1989.[citation needed]
