Turkey signed civil aviation agreement with Cambodia, which includes 5th freedom rights from Bangkok and Dhaka to points in Cambodia.
To read more in Turkish http://www.airporthaber.com/havacili...-imzaladi.html
TK is growing crazy and it seems like they can cover all Asian countries within next 5 years from now. I think only few countries, namely Armenia, Brunei (maybe 5th freedom from Kuala Lumpur), Bhutan (maybe 5th freedom from one of the Indian cities), east Timor (through Jakarta or Denpasar/Bali), Laos, Myanmar, North Korea (stopover in Beijing or Shenyang), the Philippines (soon to be materialized) and Taiwan are left.

Very attractive fares on the new Rotterdam route. Too bad I'll have already moved back to Sweden by the time those flights start

There is absolutely no award availability on IST-BOS. Not 1 seat in Economy or Business over a period of 3 months. Is there a time when TK usually opens inventory?

Were you looking at United's site for availability? When the flight was first announced there was plenty of availability in both classes but now nothing is showing up as you mentioned.
Actually the flight was supposed to be served by A333 so the A343 is a net loss of total seats but an increase in business class seats.
I've been told from other TK followers that it would not be surprising to see any TK widebody (A332, A333, A343, B77W) serve IST-BOS on a given day

I'm looking through NH. I just would like to know whether it's a temporary thing or whether all the seats TK opened up actually disappeared.

That just changed. I just booked a biz award for the inaugural flight BOS-IST. Still availably as I write! Same with IST-BOS (has to do with the upgauge to a 340). Expert flyer is showing many seats in each direction for May 12.
