While participating in the CNN Türk live broadcast, earthquake expert Prof. Dr. Şükrü Ersoy made the following statements

“IT MUST NOT BE THAT DIFFERENT”
“In the first place, after the 6.8 magnitude earthquake in Sivrice, Elazig, the common opinion of all geologists was as follows: the stress was relieved in the broken area, between Sivrice and Pötürge, but new stresses occurred in both ends. One of the extremes of this stress was in Pötürge. One end was in Sivrice. Therefore, the earthquakes here are concerning as they are on the brink. In this sense, we are also concerned about whether there will be a transfer of stress to the East. It was later announced as 5.4. The difference between 6.4 and 5.4 is more than 30 times, so I don’t know.r. “

“THERE IS NO FAILURE TO CREATE A GREAT EARTHQUAKE IN THE REGION”
“Stations should be able to tell with slight differences. However, the earthquake announced by AFAD as 5.3 was felt very severely. In such cases, it is necessary to follow the instructions of the AFAD Government. Whether the location of 5.3 is exactly correct should be determined in a few hours. Because the earthquake doesn’t exactly hit the eastern Anatolian fault. A little further away, it corresponds to a region in the northwest of Lake Hazar, in which there is no fault that could cause a major earthquake.“
“IF THE EARTHQUAKE ENDS, THERE IS A SITUATION AROUND”
“So we think this is the biggest earthquake this place can cause and it will be extinguished now. After a few aftershocks, there will be no danger. We can make different interpretations with the information that the measurement stations give us. We are concerned that it will cause another earthquake.. “
“MARMARA HAS A HISTORY IN THE PAST IN THIS MEANING”
“2 thousand an earthquake every month in Turkey. We do not believe that most of them. But there is a reality that we know in the Marmara region. It was the 1999 earthquake in Izmit. The Sea of Marmara to the west had been a major earthquake in 1912. Area between the two The benefit in the sea will create an earthquake in the near future and create an earthquake of more than 7. In this sense, the historical criminal history of Marmara will be repeated in the past. It would be a dream to wait for someone go out and say there won’t be an earthquake.
