Syrian regime forces backed by Russian air forces launched a ground offensive on the predominantly Turkmen villages in Bayir Bucak area in northwestern Latakia province Thursday, according to local sources. “Within this framework, Russia’s ambassador to Ankara, Andrey Karlov, has been summoned to our ministry upon the instruction of our Minister [Feridun Sinirlioglu], where he was told that the Russian acts are not geared towards fighting terror, but bombing civilian Turkmen villages, which could lead to serious consequences,” Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Tanju Bilgic said in a statement Friday. Turkey has requested Russia to promptly end this operation, Bilgic said, adding that “our warnings and request have also been communicated to Russian deputy foreign minister, and special presidential representative for the Middle East, Mihail Bogdanov.” The clashes between regime forces and opposition lasted until late hours of Thursday and left a number of people dead from both sides, the local sources said, adding that early Friday, regime forces began sporadic shelling that targeted the opposition and several villages. Aburrahman Mostafa, Syrian Turkmen Council’s chief, said: “Russia stands behind the attacks and its main goal is seizing as much territory as possible to strengthen Assad’s position during the political transitional period.” The Turkmen-majority area is about to fall to regime forces which may cause 15,000 Turkmen to flee to Turkey, Mokhtar Fatih Mohamed, head of Turkmen doctors group in Bayir Bucak region, told Anadolu Agency Friday. Turkmen are a Turkic ethnic group based largely in Syria and Iraq, where they live alongside large Arab and Kurdish populations. The Turkmen community, which includes both Sunni and Shia Muslims, shares close cultural ties with the Turkish people. Syria’s devastating civil war, now in its fifth year, has left some 250,000 people dead, according to the UN, and the country remains divided between various heavily-armed factions. >MORE DETAILS Fifteen PKK Terrorists Killed in Southeast Turkey ACCORDING TO THE SOURCES, THE TERRORISTS HAVE BEEN KILLED IN AN OPERATION IN THE PROVINCE’S NUSAYBIN DISTRICT ANKARA, Turkey (AA) - At least 15 PKK terrorists were killed in Turkey’s southeastern Mardin province Friday, Turkish security sources said.

Ibrahim Turhan, member of Turkish parliament for AK Party from Izmir, made the remarks in an interview with Anadolu Agency on the sidelines of the Second International Islamic Finance and Economics conference in Istanbul on Thursday.

Greek Coast Guard Appears to Sink Refugee Boat VIDEO RELEASED ON FRIDAY APPEARS TO SHOW GREEK COAST GUARD PUNCTURING DINGHY BOAT PACKED WITH SYRIAN NATIONALS ANKARA (AA) - A video released Friday appears to show Greek coast guards puncturing a dinghy boat with a sharp object earlier in November in the Aegean Sea. Video footage released by Turkey’s Office of Public Diplomacy on Friday shows a sea vessel numbered LS-060, belonging to the Greek coast guard, approach the dinghy carrying refugees, reportedly on Nov. 12. An officer then seems to puncture the boat with a lance. The Greek forces then appear to rush away from the scene immediately. The Turkish Coast Guard then rescued the 58 Syrian nationals to take them to the port of Didim in Western Turkey, according to the Turkish Office of Public Diplomacy.At least 3,138 refugees have died crossing the Mediterranean Sea so far this year, according to the International Organization for Migration. According to the UN’s Refugee Agency, the total number of arrivals in 2015 so far in Europe via the Mediterranean is now over 640,000 people. >MORE DETAILS “These involve debt which is made to seem less risky using insurance or derivatives, so that the relationship between the debtor and the debt is no longer direct. Because it broke down that relationship, the quality of securitized instruments deteriorated.” Islamic finance, on the other hand, used instruments based on actual assets, so the quality of the instrument cannot be changed, Turhan said. In his speech to the conference, Turhan said that preserving the direct relationship between debtor and creditor is part of the moral approach of Islamic finance. “Profit sharing and risk sharing in Islamic finance provides a much more secure.... >MORE DETAILS G20: Turkey Shows Progress in Developing Islamic Finance FINANCE MINISTRY AT WORK ON TAX LEGISLATION TO FACILITATE SUKUK ISSUANCE, EXPERT SAYS ISTANBUL (AA) - Experts who attended at a G20 conference on Islamic finance in Istanbul have pointed to Turkey’s progress in developing the sector.
