Bulgarian units in the middle east ?

Did the Bulgarians ever send any units ( like the Germans and Austro-Hungarians) to help the Turkish forces in the middle east ?

This blog suggests they did, never read anything about it before.

Mate,

Sorry I can't find any Bulgar units with the Ottoman Army, other then the Ottoman 177th Regt and its fighting in that country.

Considering they had just fought a war (1913 Balkan War) that maybe a bridge to far for units in Turkey?

Possibly some officers were sent for training, as a large number of (German & Austrian) Railway officers were sent during the war?

S.B
