Burden is on the proponents to prove facts. As always.

In his book The Thirteenth Tribe (New York: Random House, 1976), novelist Arthur Koestler advanced the hypothesis that the thirteenth-century Mongol invasion of Central Asia drove the Khazars into Poland, where they generated the rise of Judaism in Europe. However, the book was mostly panned by scholars as poorly researched and hastily written.

Genetic research in this century has shown no link between the Khazars and modern-day Ashkenazi Jews.

Oppenheim’s research on Y chromosomes of Ashkenazi, Sephardic, and Kurdish Jews from Israel, Muslim Kurds, Muslim Arabs from Israel and the Palestinian Authority Area, and Bedouin from the Negev.

The study states Ashkenazi Jews with Eu 19 chromosome grouping may be descendents of the Khazars.
