Reporters Adem Ozkose, who works for the Milat newspaper and cameraman Hamit Coskun went missing in Syria a week after travelling to the city of Idlib in early March.
In a written statement, Humanitarian Relief Foundation, which released the video, said it's holding talks with Syrian authorities for the release of the men.
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said it was also working on the whereabouts of the two missing newsmen.
Turkey's Hatay province, which borders Syria, has become a staging post for reporters attempting to cross into Syria to cover the on-going protests and unrest.
