Current State of Crimean Karaites

(45th Meeting of the PIAC, Budapest 2002)

Nowadays there are more than 2000 Karaites in the world and only 800 in Crimea. In 1989 the Association of the Crimean Karaites was founded. The association takes necessary measures for improving of demographic, economic, spiritual position of the Crimean Karaites. I shall explain the current state in my paper at 45th Meeting of the PIAC.
