Bulgaria is one of the fourteen EU member states from which Turkey has received data on supporters of Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen, a Turkish daily reports.
Turkey's Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet) has used imams in a number of countries within and outside the EU to gather intelligence about Gülen followers and supporters, according to Hürriyet Daily News.
The total number of countries comprised by the "data collection" - thirty-eight - includes Norway and Switzerland.
From Bulgaria in particular, two reports were sent, one from the capital Sofia and another from the country's second-largest city Plovdiv.
Photos of individuals allegedly linked to Gulen's movement, which Turkey designates as a terrorist organization, were also included in Sofia of the files. It does not become immediately clear if that was the case with the two reports from Bulgaria.
Turkey blames Gülen and his movement for orchestrating the military coup attempt on July 15.
