Zafar Bangash, editor of Crescent-online.net, author, political analyst, humanitarian, author and/or co-author of several books, including The Doomed Kingdom of the House of Saud.
Zafar Bangash explains the warmongering motivations of Turkish President Erdogan wanting a no-fly zone over Syria: (1) To continue supplying weapons to the terrorist groups (2) To prevent the Kurds in Syria from hooking up to the Kurds in Turkey, esp. the Kurds in the Kurdistan Workers Party.
Bangash adds that Erdogan started the attacks on Kurdish areas to create fear and hate for the Kurds so he could garner support of the November elections. His false-flag strategy worked for him.
Turkey shooting down the Russian plane and murdering a Russian pilot was illegal and violated international law. Russia was invited by Syria to help fight the terrorists, and the Russian plane did not violate Turkish airspace.
Erdogan has created a crisis situation that has potential for blowing up into something serious (possibly world war). Syria has now deployed lethal S-400 missiles with a range of 250 kilometers.
Bangash points out that the Russian air force helps the Syrian army by enabling their military to carry out ground operations that have cleared out the terrorists in mountain areas.
Bangash makes the connection between Turkey stealing oil from Syrian wells and Erdogan family involvement in the oil business.
