Receiving Syrian Turkmen Council Head Fayez Amro, Davutoglu said Turkey supports particularly Turkmens in Syria and wants to ensure they are organized steadily.
"We will continue to stand with our Turkmen brothers and sisters. We will fully support them with no hesitation," said the minister.
Meanwhile, Amro said Syria was facing an unprecedented crisis.
"Turkey's Syria policy is based on human rights... Turkey has not remained silent on massacres in Syria," Amro said. " Turkish government has offered humanitarian aid as well as giving financial support. The worse the conditions became, the more support Turkey has given."
Since uprising against the Assad regime broke out in March 2011, more than 100,000 people have been killed in a civil war which has uprooted millions of people and devastated many cities in Syria.

Syrian Turkmen seek refuge in Turkey...
ReplyDeleteGAZIANTEP, Turkey
Around 1,500 Syrian Turkmen fleeing fighting in the Syrian town of Jarabulus have arrived at the Karkamis border district in southeast Turkey, local sources said.
The clashes between the Islamic Front and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) drove thousands of Turkmen from camps in Jarabulus to the Turkey-Syrian border.
The mostly women and children have been living in makeshift tents for nearly a week.
"The refugees are facing food and bread shortages. They are dealing with rain and cold weather as they await transportation to camps in Turkey," Syrian Turkmen Ahmad Al Jadir said.
Kadir Kaya, a local resident in Karkamis, said dozens of Turkmen arrive at the border every day. Turkish medics have provided medical assistance to those who were sick.
Islamic Front rebels, the largest Islamist opposition alliance, accuse the ISIL of having committed violations against the local population that include murders, kidnappings, and forced expulsions.
