Erdogan visits Turkey earthquake site, acknowledges ‘some issues’ with response

Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan made his first visit to the devastated region of Kahramanmaras on Wednesday, one of the multiple sites of devastation after two massive quakes hit Turkey and Syria within hours of each other on Monday. Erdoğan acknowledged some problems with Turkey’s initial response to the earthquake that rocked the south but said normal operations have resumed, saying that “On the first day we experienced some issues but then on the second day and today the situation is under control.”
