He pledged to prevent crossings of jihadists through Turkey into war-torn neighboring country.
"Foreign fighters are threat to all countries. Turkey will not allow foreign fighters cross through its territory," Davutoglu said at a joint press conference with visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron after their talks in the Turkish capital of Ankara.
"Those foreign fighters are threat to us with their existence," he said, adding that those militants also "cast shadow to Syrian people's cause."
No IS leader has crossed through the Turkish territory and Turkey is ready to provide all sort of intelligence information on this issue, said Davutoglu.
Cameron, for his part, reaffirmed that the IS was threat to his country too.
"We will consider all kinds of measures together. We ordered our intelligence services to work together," Cameron said elaborating on cooperation between Turkey and Britain against the recruitment of the IS from British citizens.
