Turkish authorities have hold up tons of aids sent from Iraqi Kurds to Kobani refugees close to Turkish border.
Turkey has prevented a convoy of aid supplies sent by the Barzani Charity Foundation that was being sent to the people of Kobani suffering near Turkey’s border.
On Tuesday, twelve trucks stocked with food and other basic needs which was provided by Barzani Foundation was sent for Kobani refugees from Erbil to Turkey, however, it was prevented from crossing by the Turkish government.
The convoy is currently halted at the Ibrahim Khalil border between Iraqi Kurdistan and Turkey.
Turkish government officials claim the stand-still has been carried out in order to thoroughly check the passports and identification of the truck drivers and personnel who are delivering the goods.
The Barzani Charity Foundation has also provided food for children from Antab, Turkey and had planned to distribute aid to Kobani’s children on Tuesday.
The foundation’s delegation consisted of the chief manager, deputy manager and a number of journalists, who are putting all efforts into convincing Turkey’s government from Ankara to allow them to deliver the aid to Kobani people.
In the past week, due to Islamic State (IS) attacks on Kobani and other Kurdish towns in northern Syria, more than 130,000 Kurds has fled the region in to Turkey.

Damn Turks .....
Just because they’re a NATO member, the Turks have not changed in the last 100 years.
The Armenians will tell you.
OK, then prevent the F-35 from reaching the Turks. Split them up between South Korea and Japan instead. Set up the Kurds with a nice squadron of F-16s, while we’re at it.
