Yeah, the Moskva has been with a couple of Krivaks and a Kashin off the coast for a while, bringing that closer to shore will bring the S-300K SAMs (SA-10) into range of Turkish airspace. There's not much in the way to cruise missiles on any of the three classes of warship, mainly Anti-ship missiles and anti-submarine weaponry, so it would be down to the guns unless the P-500 (SS-N-12 Sandbox) can be modified to hit ground targets.
I wouldn't be surprised if a Turkish F16 meets a Russian SAM at some point in the future, especially if they keep popping over the border to bomb the Kurds.
