Call me overly cynical, but I suspect that is just a sneaky way to get more US/EU aircraft onto Turkish bases to attack ISIS.

"Sure we will defend your Air Space and maybe while we're at it we will pounce on those ISIS Oil convoys trying to sneak across your border"

The US has been pressing Turkey to allow the coalition to use Turkish bases, but Turkey only gave the OK to use Incirlik Air Base a few months back.

Turkey is not the easiest ally to deal with, their Air Force still spends most of its time bombing the Kurds.
