The same people who called our southern border immigration disaster a "manufactured crisis" are calling the situation in Syria a "genocide"/"ethnic cleansing". The reason why; political manipulation.
Well. Per the original plan, Turkey was taking over roughly half of actually habitable areas of the Syria's Kurdistan where roughly two million Kurds live (among others), and settle there up to four million refugees form Syria they currently hold, predominantly Arabs. The irregular units Turkey use as frontline fighters are jihadists not much better that the ISIS. You can call that however you like, but it was apparently planned to be major ethnic engineering project.
Due to Russian intervention the actual scale of the operation will likely be much more limited, but I'm sure Erdogan and Putin will reach some mutually satisfying agreement. Since for Putin the whole situation is rather pleasant birthday present, it shouldn't be too difficult.
