Syria: Hundreds of Peshmerga kurd fighters cross from Turkey to battle Isis in Syria
Turkey has reportedly agreed to allow up to 200 heavily armed Peshmerga fighters to enter into the city of Kobani in order to fight Islamic State militants.
Fuad Hussein, the Kurdistan President’s Chief of Staff, confirmed in an interview today that “a small group of Peshmerga fighters will be in Kobani within days”.
It is the first time the Turkish government has supported the Kurds in the fight for Kobani, symbolising a major U-Turn in government policy.
