Apparently Turkey stops their flights :
Source
The Turkish Air Force , by decision of the Turkish General Staff ceased overflights over the Syrian territory under the fear of direct downing of their fighters from the Russian Su-30 and the a / S-400 that are "locked" now the Syrian airspace.

Thanks for the update Quick question though is there an English portal to that site, the last 2 times I've tried to access it on my phone I couldn't see where to get the English version...
I am a minority in Turkey and you have some warped idea about this issue obviously .
we are talking about almost 3.5 million Turkmen here , unless Russia is stopped , these people and some more will also end up in Turkey & Europe .
All for serving the interest of Putin's Russia .
Which Turkmen would be ? The Islamist ones ? or those that allies with the FSA ? Turkmen fought Assad because Turkey told them to do.
In November, a former ISIS member told Newsweek that the group was essentially given free rein by Turkey's army.
"ISIS commanders told us to fear nothing at all because there was full cooperation with the Turks," the fighter said. "ISIS saw the Turkish army as its ally especially when it came to attacking the Kurds in Syria."
A US-led raid on the compound housing the Islamic State's "chief financial officer" produced evidence that Turkish officials directly dealt with ranking ISIS members, Martin Chulov of the Guardian reported recently.
The officer killed in the raid, Islamic State official Abu Sayyaf, was responsible for directing the terror army's oil and gas operations in Syria. The Islamic State (aka ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh) earns up to $10 million a month selling oil on black markets.
Documents and flash drives seized during the Sayyaf raid reportedly revealed links "so clear" and "undeniable" between Turkey and ISIS "that they could end up having profound policy implications for the relationship between us and Ankara," senior Western official familiar with the captured intelligence told the Guardian.

I'd take a look at this thread about 2 Turkish journalists that have been arrested because they found evidence of arms being sent to terrorists by Turkey.

Terrorists? Or Freedom fighters? This is off topic, but since you asked me, I feel obliged to ask you....

Sorry to ask but what minority that might be ? Greek ( Pontus ) ? Armenian or Assyrian?
I am Circassian .
And no i do not have some warped idea about it.
uhm , I beg to differ but this is a free world after all .
Fact is that after the rise of nationalism(Grey Wolfs, etc) under the Ottoman Empire almost entirely removed the ancient indigenous communities of Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian populations in Anatolia and surrounding regions.
Rise of nationalism has cost lots of lives on BOTH sides . You see I can feel for the Pontus , Greek , Assyrian or Armenians . Because I am aware of their plight .
You on the other hand seem to have no idea how many Turks/Muslims have been killed by Christians at the same time . [ estimated number to 3 - 4 million ]
In your world view , it seems that the Big Bad Turk just went nuts and killed anyone and everyone .
Truth is a bit more complicated .
But that is for another thread. Lets try to stay on topic.
Sure but in the mean time do google Circassian Genocide so if we should ever talk on the subject , you do have an idea . As for the Armenian issue I suggest you to check the otherside of the " Story " . www.tallarmeniantale.com...
So i am going to ask again :
Which Turkmen would be ? The Islamist ones ? or those that allies with the FSA ? Turkmen fought Assad because Turkey told them to do.
