Turks to let Kurds join Kobane fight
In a policy reversal, Turkey is to allow Iraqi Kurdish fighters to cross the Syrian border to fight Islamic State (IS) militants in Kobane, the BBC reported.
Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu added that talks on the subject were continuing.
Tens of thousands of people have fled months of fighting in Kobane between IS forces and Syrian Kurd defenders.
The announcement came shortly after the US carried out air drops of weapons to Kobane's Kurdish fighters.
