An article by renowned Turkish historian and researcher Prof Yalcin Kucuk reveals the following regarding Turkish FM Ahmet Davutoglu's Crimean-Karaite Jewish origin:

- The Karaite Jewish community of Crimea is descended from ethnic Tatars that adopted Judaism as part of the Khazar Kingdom during the 8th-9th centuries.

- In the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries, a number of Crimean-Karaite families emigrated to today's Turkey. Some of them started identifying themselves as secular Sunni-Turks and reached elite positions in the new Turkish Republic.

-  Davudoff or Davutoglu -- the latter meaning Son-of-David in Turkish -- is a well-known Crimean-Karaite family name,  in connection with Anan Ben-David who founded the Karaite sect in Baghdad in the 8th century.

- Davutoglu's wife Sare (Sara), daughters Sefure and Buke, and grand-daughter Aybike, all have traditional Crimean-Karaite names.

- As part of a tradition of marrying within the community, Davutoglu's daughter Sefure is married to Ahmet Ozokur, secion of another Crimean-Karaite family. The family name Ozokur represents Turkish translation of "Pure Karaite" (Pure Reader) from Hebrew.

- Son-in-law Ahmet Ozokur's mother, Ahsen (Ulker) Ozokur, is 960th on Forbes' list of billionaires and one of two sibling heirs to t he multibillion-dollar Ulker food empire. The Ulker family is known to be of Crimean-Karaite origin, while the family's matriarch and mother to the two Ulker heirs is Jewish, hailing from the Istanbul's Sephardic-Jewish community. The Ulker family is currently considered among the wealthiest backers and beneficiaries of Turkey's pro-Islamist AKP regime.
