Pope Urban II agreed to help the Byzantines when they were attacked by Muslim Turks in the Holy Land. In response to a request for assistance from Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos, he called for the First Crusade in 1095 at the Council of Clermont. This rallying cry aimed to aid the Byzantines and reclaim Jerusalem, leading to a large-scale mobilization of Christian knights and soldiers from Europe.

Why did the Byzantines hate the Turks?

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.
