Turkish president acknowledges problems, but says it's getting better

Following criticism that the Turkish state was slow to get to some of the affected areas after the earthquakes struck on Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says there were some problems in the initial response.

However, he says operations are back to normal now.

"Initially there were issues at airports and on the roads, but today things are getting easier and tomorrow it will be easier still," Erdogan says.

"We have mobilised all our resources," he adds. "The state is doing its job."
