The role of pope urban was to convince the Franks to go to the east to assist the Byzantines against the attacks of the Muslim Turks and to liberate Jerusalem -the crusades-
There are two major reasons that the Byzantines hated the Turks and they are both fairly straightforward. 1) Land: The Byzantine Empire was based in Anatolia and extended into the Levant, Mesopotamia, North Africa, and the Balkans. The Turkish Empires like the Seljuqs and the Ottomans conquered this territory and similarly established Anatolia as their base of operations. When any two different ethnic groups want to control the same piece of land, it breeds conflict 2) Religion: The Byzantines considered Constantinople to be the most important seed of Orthodox Christianity and the Byzantine Empire was the defender of the Christian Faith in the Middle East. The Turks were Muslim and there was much religious hatred on both sides. The difference between the Turks and the Byzantines was that the Turks begrudgingly allowed Christians to live in their empire as long as they paid humiliating taxes whereas the Byzantines refused to let Muslims contaminate (in their view) their country and despoil the religious purity.

It was around the year 1000 that the Seljuk Turks stormed onto the scene and began to establish a powerful empire, in the process taking on both the major Islamic Caliphates and the venerable Byzantine Empire The previous answer was: The Crusades. While it is true that Crusaders attacked both Byzantium and the Muslim states, they did not start arriving until 1098 when the First Crusade was launched, a Crusade which was allied with the Byzantines, albeit briefly.
