[edit] Karaim both Jews and Turks?
Let's see if i understand this correctly: Karaim are both Jews and Turks?

- Not exactly. Jews most certainly. Jews who speak a Turkic language, most certainly. But Turks, i.e., Turk(ic?) converts to Judaism? Not necessarily. The history of the group who speak the "Karaim" language is far too shrouded by history, or ahistory, to make any reliable assertions about their origins. :-p -t Tomer TALK 09:50, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
I work with Karaims in Lithuania. They definitely do not identify themselves as Jews. Nonstopbrakes 02:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Not a disambig page
I have removed the {{disambig}} template from the article because it is not formatted as a disambiguation page, and I don't see any advantage in trying to force it to fit that format. If this were a disambiguation page, it would not belong in other categories and would not have any informational links in the introduction. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 10:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
