Some remarks
For a starter, there are in Pirin Macedonia cities more populated than what you've listed to be the five times larger Greek part's "towns of importance". The population of Petrich is 34,475, Sandanski is inhabited by 30,196 and Gotse Delchev (town) has a population of 23,573, more than or about as many as Kastoria (Kostur) (16,218), Florina (Lerin) (16,771) or Edessa (Voden) (25,619), for example. I'm just saying Blagoevgrad isn't the only important town, you know. Actually, the valleys of the Struma and Mesta have a quite high population density for Bulgaria.
There's the second remark — ignoring your position on the ethnicity of Pirin Macedonia's 300,000 self-declared Bulgarian inhabitants, there are actually almost no true Turks in the region. The 2001 census group of Turks practically includes a large number of Muslim Bulgarians whose mother tongue is Bulgarian (compare 286,491 that declared to be Bulgarians with 306,118 native speakers of Bulgarian and 31,857 self-declared Turks with 19,819 speakers of Turkish).
Of course, these are just suggestions that came to my mind while looking at your userpage. No offence, but it's a nice way to theoretically study Macedonian nationalism :)
