Turkey's president, Recep Tayip Erdogan, during his visit to the earthquake-affected town in Gaziantep, has promised aid and support to survivors.

"Don't worry, just like we've overcome previous earthquakes," said Erdogan.

The Turkish president said the government has been negotiating with hotels in Antalya, Alanya and Mersin to house survivors, TRT writes.

We are willing to place survivors in the hotels in these cities, and we will offer you 10,000 lira (590 euros) for the families affected by earthquake”, the Turkish president said.
