At present, due to histarical and geographical circumstances, other religions spread
among Turlcs who are mostly Muslim. Judaism, in which religious and ethnical identity became identical after having acquired a national character in time, became, as well, one of the religions recognized by same Turkish groups. Khazars constitute the main example of Jewish Turkish people known in the history. Howeveı; they have adopted the religious sect called "Karai.sm ·~ which emergedfrom Judai.sm, and sustained their ethnical character along with their new religious beliefs. D esp i te the fact that the ir numbers are low taday, Crimean Karaites have been partly seen as successors of Khazar culture and Khazars, and moreoveı; the traces of Turkish culture have been maintaine.d in their lives. A research on religious beliefs and ethnical characters of Crimean Karaites is attributed crudal importance in point of Turkish religious and cultural history. In this article, in addition to Karaism, the ethnical characters, beliefs, ceremonies, traditions and characteri.stics which they inheritedfrom Turkish culture, of Crimean Karaites will be discussed |
