AFTER DEADLY EARTHQUAKES in Turkey and Syria:
Turkey’s president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, acknowledged that there were problems with his government’s response to earthquakes that struck his country, as well as Syria, on Monday. Many Turks have complained that state rescue teams lacked expertise, appropriate equipment and were slow to arrive, even though people remain trapped under rubble. The death toll from the earthquakes has passed 15,000 and looks certain to rise further.
