Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has announced that a person suspected of forest arson in the country's south-west has been detained, APA reports citing Sputnik
He did not reveal the suspect's name or motives, but said that the person was suspected of being connected with a wildfire near the city of Milas in Mugla province.
Erdogan said that the country does not rule out the possibility that the wildfires, which he had previously dubbed a "national disaster", were started by people interested in hurting Turkey.
