Ahmet Davutoglu said Russia's campaign had targeted Turkmen and Sunni communities around the Latakia region.
Relations between Ankara and Moscow have plummeted since Turkey shot down a Russian warplane on the Syrian border.

Russia accuses Turkey of ‘planned provocation’ in downing jet
- Turkey ‘ready to work’ with Russia to prevent repeat of jet downing...
Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu said on Dec. 9 that Turkey is “ready to work” with Russia to prevent a repeat of incidents similar to the Nov. 24 downing of a Russian fighter jet by Turkey, while also accusing Russia of “ethnic cleansing” of Turkmens in Syria’s Latakia.
“We are ready to work with Russia to prevent similar incidents in the aftermath of the downing of the Russian jet,” Davutoğlu said at a meeting with representatives from the foreign press in Istanbul, while reserving harsh words for Moscow’s actions in Latakia.
“Russia is trying to create a safe zone for itself by isolating the Turkmen and Sunni population from Latakia and also trying to safeguard the Russian and Syrian bases,” he said, describing the Russian targeting of Turkmen groups as “ethnic cleansing.”
Davutoğlu also added that the Russian bombing of the Azez region, while also cutting the supply lines of moderate opposition groups, only served the interests of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
The Turkish prime minister also referred to the controversial deployment of Turkish soldiers to Mosul as an “act of solidarity” rather than aggression, amid increasing threats from ISIL against Turkish soldier trainers.
Meanwhile, he also expressed optimism over “turning a new page” in EU-Turkey relations, heralding the fact that the relaxation in visa rules for Turkish citizens traveling in the EU would be completed in between six and nine months.

"Ils veulent expulser [les Turkmènes et les sunnites], ils veulent le nettoyage ethnique de cette région pour que les bases du régime et de la Russie à Lattaquié et à Tartous soient protégées", a-t-il ainsi expliqué lors d'une rencontre avec des correspondants de presse étrangers à Istanbul.
