Until the [[Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922)]] and the [[Population exchange between Greece and Turkey]] in 1923 did Pomaks inhabit a part of the regions of [[Moglena]]<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.unibuc.ro/CLASSICA/megleno1/introducere.pdf |title=Capidan, Theodor.

German sightseer [[Adolf Struck]] in 1898 describes Konstantia (in [[Moglena]]) as a big village with 300 houses and two panes, inhabited exclusively by Pomaks. Greek nationalist scholars and government officials frequently refer to the Pomaks as "slavicised" [[Greek Muslims]], to give the impression and support Greek narratives that they are the descendants of Ottoman-era Greek converts to Islam like the [[Vallahades]] of Greek Macedonia.{{citation needed|date=August 2021}}
