A group of Iraqi Kurdish Peshmerga forces have arrived at Sanliurfa province southeastern of Turkey on Wednesday where they are expected to cross over into Kobani to join fighters battling the militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
A private plane carrying Peshmerga forces landed at Turkey's GAP Airport from Erbil International Airport, Anadolu News Agency said.
The Kurdish regional government in Iraq has sent its forces to fight alongside the Kurdish groups in Kobani under a special arrangement with Turkey.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Tuesday that 150 Iraqi Peshmerga fighters would enter Kobani "at any moment.
The logistical details of the Kurdish fighters entering the Syrian border town, how and from where, would be dealt with by related military officials," he added.
The deployment of peshmerga fighters to Kobani comes just a week after Turkey agreed to let the forces from Iraq cross its territory to reach Kobani.
