The 6.2 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Istanbul has brought scientists into conflict. In response to Prof. Dr. Şener Üşümezsoy, who predicted the 6.2 earthquake 20 days in advance and stated, "There will no longer be a major earthquake in Istanbul," Prof. Dr. Naci Görür said, "What can I do if a person who has never been touched by seawater and knows nothing about the Sea of Marmara is speaking?"

A 6.2 magnitude earthquake in the Sea of Marmara caused panic in Istanbul and surrounding provinces. After the earthquake, experts appeared on screens to make assessments, but their differing scenarios led to confusion in the public. Some say it is the main earthquake, while others claim it is a precursor to a larger quake.
"THE MAN WHO DOES NOT KNOW THE SEA OF MARMARA"
The discussions were directed to Prof. Dr. Naci Görür, who has been conducting earthquake research in the Sea of Marmara for a long time. Görür stated, "What can I do if a man who has never been touched by sea water and does not know the Sea of Marmara speaks? In the projects I am involved in, publications have been made in high-impact journals. There is no divided scientific world. Those who say 'the earthquake risk in Istanbul is over' should present the peer-reviewed journals they have published in front of us." he said.

CLAIM THAT "THERE WILL BE NO EARTHQUAKE IN ISTANBUL ANYMORE"
Prof. Dr. Görür also pointed out that some individuals are being cunning. He expressed that the recently published article predicts that an earthquake could occur in Istanbul within 30 years, stating, "These predictions have a plus and minus of 15 years. A person stands up and says to the public, 'There will be an earthquake in 45 years.' He does not base this information on any publication or data." he reacted.
"GIVING A DATE IS PROPHECY"
Görür, who said, "Giving a date for the great Istanbul earthquake is prophecy," continued his words as follows:
"We can only say it as a probability. After the latest studies, the probability of an earthquake occurring since 1999 is 47%. You should not say 'I know something.' You must speak based on universal science. You are speaking to the scientific world, and science expects this. Instead of going into personal matters, we need to be more honest and enlighten the public. With what logic and reasoning do they say 'there will be no earthquake here'?
"DO NOT PLAY WITH THE SAFETY OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE"
Prof. Dr. Görür also addressed the claim that the necessary energy for a major earthquake in Istanbul has not been accumulated, stating that someone who says this cannot be a scientist. Referring to the latest study in international journals, Görür said, "There is an article published in the world's most prestigious journal. It says, '47% within 30 years' or something like that. Now, if you say it cannot happen, does that have any meaning? If you say 'No, it will be in 60 years,' where is your article? You should write that." he said.
PROF. DR. ŞENER ÜŞÜMEZSOY HAD SAID 'EARTHQUAKES IN MARMARA HAVE ENDED'
Prof. Dr. Şener Üşümezsoy, whom Görür criticized without naming, had claimed that earthquakes in Marmara have come to an end. Reminding that he had previously predicted earthquakes of magnitudes 6.0-6.5, Üşümezsoy had stated, "There is no other earthquake risk; earthquakes in Marmara have ended."
