History

During the great migration movements in Macedonia at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, Macedonian Muslims left the Debar area for the central regions of Macedonia and established villages such as Pagaruša located in the Skopje area.[1]

Demographics

Pagaruša has traditionally been inhabited by a Macedonian Muslim (Torbeš) population.[1] The mother tongue of Pagaruša inhabitants and of daily communication is Macedonian.[2] The village has undergone some depopulation as villagers have migrated to Turkey or nearby Skopje and surrounding villages in North Macedonia.[2] Though most Macedonian Muslims are Sunni, in Pagaruša followers of Sufi Islam are present attached to various Sufi orders such as the Melami, Halveti and Bektashi.[3]
