Falah Mustafa, the foreign minister of Iraq's Kurdish regional government (KRG), has called on Turkey to let volunteer fighters through to the besieged Syrian city of Kobani, where Syrian Kurds are waging a desperate battle against Islamic State (IS) militants. In an interview with RFE/RL correspondent Charles Recknagel in Prague, Mustafa said Ankara should heed calls from the international community to help the city, which has been under siege for almost four weeks.
