Syria Turkey spat continues as they both ban civilian flights.
On Sunday Ahmet Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, accused the Syrian government of "abusing" civilian flights by transporting military equipment.
Syria responded by announcing the closure of its own air space, in "accordance with the principle of reciprocity", SANA state news agency said.
The diplomatic development came as Human Rights Watch accused the Syrian air force of increasing its use of Russian-made cluster bombs in the past week as the Assad regime fights to regain control of the country.
The lethal weapon, that has been comprehensively banned by most nations, was allegedly thrown from planes and helicopters in a bid to regain control the strategically crucial town of Maarat al-Numan, which is situated on the main Aleppo – Damascus highway and which fell to the rebels last week.
