Faculty of Engineering, University of Fırat Member of the Faculty of Geological Engineering Prof. Dr. Ercan Aksoy stated that the faults have the potential to produce earthquakes of this magnitude, compared to the 5.0 earthquake that occurred in the Kurtalan district of Siirt , “These earthquakes will be magnitude 5. Because our big earthquake was magnitude 6.8. Therefore, more than 5 aftershocks will continue, but it is necessary. “There is always the possibility of large earthquakes from Pütürge to Çelikhan and from Sivrice to Palu, Bingöl and Karlıova.”
Member of the Faculty of Geological Engineering at the University of Firat Prof. Dr. Ercan Aksoy said that the earthquake was first thought to have occurred due to the thrust belt of southeastern Anatolia, but looking at the fault plane solutions, it developed in a slip fault. Prof. Dr. Aksoy also stated that after the 6.8 earthquake in Elazig on January 24, the intensity of the earthquake in the region increased.
