Bulgurca was a village about 20 km south of Izmir, Turkey. Bulgurca's geographical coordinates are 38° 9' 35" North, 27° 8' 44" East[1].
At a central rural location, Bulgurca was a well catered and popular village with health centre[2], primary and secondary schools[3], wide array of shops and trades alongside a strong farming community.
