Turkmen Mountain (Arabic: جبل تركمان; Jabal Turkman,[1] Turkish: Türkmen Dağı) is a mountain range in the north of the Latakia region of Syria, in the area called Bayırbucak locally in Turkish, neighboring the Turkish border.

[2] The mountain range runs along the eastern length of Latakia Governorate.

[3] The area is mostly inhabited by Syrian Turkmen people and has seen military activity by the Syrian Army and Russian air strikes in late 2015.

[4][5] Close to 300,000 Turkmens have been displaced since the start of the Syrian Civil War,[6] especially in The Turkmens mountains, where the Syrian Government enacted a demographic change by forcing the last remaining Turkmen families to leave to Turkey, and settled Alawite families in the areas controlled by government forces.

[7] Two Turkish F-16s shot down one of two Russian Su-24 fighter jets in Syria on 24 November 2015.
