I didn't watch the video but they probably recieved them along with other weapons and support from the PKK: Kurdistan Workers' Party who was for a long time supported by Iran but most likely currently receives support from Russia.
disclaimer: i don't actually know what i am talking about but i like to think i do.
"DHKP/C has a relationship with the Turkish Kurdish separatist group PKK, which is also close to the Syrian government." --> CNN: Turkish attack a reminder of Cold War dynamics
A couple other good reads...Washington Post: Turkey bombing: What is the DHKP/C terrorist group?
Article that was linked from the Washington Post article: Role of Iran and Syria in THKP/C terrorism against Turkey
The articles talk mostly on how the recent events were more about Turkey & Syria but more specifically at the US involvement as these leftist groups have long had anti-US and anti-EU ideologies. The PKK (and their relationship with other terror groups) is more widespread in the region as well and as I said before that it would only make sense that they were also tied in with the AQI. Also, it seems that Iran has a large role in helping out many of these groups in the region...

Turkey's Gendarmerie General Command, the military police responsible for security in rural areas,
has reportedly notified the country's Interior Ministry about preparation by al-Qaeda-affiliate fighters in Syria
to stage car bomb attacks in Turkey.
Turkish daily Milliyet reported on Friday that the gendarmerie sent a letter to the intelligence department
of the Interior Ministry before the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha notifying them
about 10 car bombs that are being prepared to be
detonated across Turkey.
A secret cable the gendarmerie sent to the police said the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS)
is planning terrorist attacks in Turkey and has prepared 10 cars with fake Turkish plates
and loaded with bombs to be detonated in Turkey. The
terrorists were planning to cut the wired border fence with Turkey to
bring in the cars.
The cable said the final decision as to whether or
not to carry out the terrorist attacks would have been given based on
Turkey's position during the Friends of Syria meeting in London last
week.The letter explained that the ISIS plan would have been
called off if Turkey had considered the terrorist group among the
legitimate moderate opposition. Milliyet said Turkish authorities issued
warnings to all police and gendarmerie forces in all cities across the
country.
Turkey, which has been a staunch supporter of the Syrian
opposition fighting to topple President Bashar al-Assad, is accused of
providing logistical support to two al-Qaeda-linked groups -- the
al-Nusra Front and ISIS.Ankara has said several times that its
stance towards the developments in Syria is clear and that it will not
take part in the ongoing fighting, denying claims that it supports
radical Islamist groups operating in Syria.

Car bomb in Turkey kills 2 as country steps up anti-terrorism efforts
Turkey initially decided to attack ISIS during a national security meeting Thursday headed by Davutoglu. Turkish forces arrested 590 suspected terrorists, bombed ISIS positions in northern Iraq and targeted the PKK in strikes in a daylong operation Saturday.
It was the first time Turkey had attacked ISIS and the PKK simultaneously.

Turkey blamed the attack on the PKK -- a Kurdish separatist group that Turkey, the United States and the European Union have designated as a terror organization. Turkey has been battling the PKK for decades.
