A suspected deliberate wildfire is under control after burning 4,500 hectares of forest over three days on Turkey's southwest coast, the government said on Saturday.

Speaking to reporters in the eastern town of Agri on Saturday, Justice Minister Bekir Bozdag said the president's comments "are instructions to us."
