Turkey tried to threaten Russia to stop bombing the Turkmen in Syria, whom Turkey considers their own people.
After that hadn't worked Turkey murdered two Russian people and shot down a military jet, thinking this will make Russia think twice before attacking the Turkmen again.

Now Russia bombs the Turkmen even more, all military contact between the two nations is ceased. Russia is to deploy S-400 to the Khmeimim airbase and all bombers sent to northern Syria are to be accompanied by two fighters. And border will be closed.

Mission accomplished, Erdogan.

Many say that, by closing this border, we will effectively curb the terrorist threat in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister said

MOSCOW, November 25. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has described as correct the offer of French President Francois Hollande to take steps to close the Syrian-Turkish border. He said as much while talking to reporters on Wednesday.

"Going back to the news conference of Presidents of France and the United States Francois Hollande and Barack Obama in Washington, I noticed that the French president suggested taking steps to close the Turkish-Syrian border to stop both the flow of militants and terrorist financing," the Russian minister said. "It is significant that President Obama did not respond to this in any way, but I think it's the right suggestion."

"I hope that President Hollande will brief us on the issue tomorrow (during the meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin)," the Russian foreign minister said. "We would be ready to seriously consider the steps necessary for this."

"Many say that, by closing this border, we will effectively curb the terrorist threat in Syria," Lavrov added.
