Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has criticized the US airdrops of supplies and arms for the Kurdish defenders of the Syrian town of Kobane, saying some of the supplies ended up in the hands of the attacking Islamic State.

“It has emerged that what was done was wrong,” Erdoğan said on Wednesday.

The President referred to an Islamic State video purporting to show one of the 27 bundles of assistance falling near Islamic State lines.

“It is now becoming clear who the support was lent to, and why,” President Erdoğan said, without elaborating.

Erdoğan was told of the imminent airdrops on Saturday by President Obama in a phone call. The next day, the Turkish President said he would not accept the delivery of arms to the Syrian Kurdish Democratic Union Party (PYD) as it was a “terrorist organization”.

However, on Monday Ankara agreed to passage for Iraqi Kurdish forces moving through its territory to Kobane.
