Following the 6.2 earthquake in Istanbul, Prof. Dr. Naci Görür drew attention with his statements and shared a six-point evaluation with the note "A conversation with my dear nation." Among the points Görür listed were expressions such as "The recent April 23 earthquakes have brought the Istanbul earthquake even closer" and "Let us respect scientists and stand on the side of science."
The 6.2 magnitude earthquake that occurred off the coast of Silivri, Istanbul, has caused significant fear among the residents of the megacity, while scientists continue to evaluate the situation.
Prof. Dr. Naci Görür published a warning list titled "Sharing Concerns with My Honorable Nation" on his X account to put an end to the discussions regarding the Istanbul earthquake.
In his 6-point statement, Görür used the following expressions;
1 - An earthquake will occur in Istanbul (Marmara Earthquake).
2 - The recent earthquakes on April 23 have brought the Istanbul Earthquake even closer.
3 - As a nation, let’s not discuss whether there will be a fault and an earthquake.
4 - What is important for us is to create EARTHQUAKE RESILIENT cities. Let’s survive earthquakes with minimal damage. Let our people not die.
5 - Let’s respect scientists and stand on the side of science.
6 - A scientist is someone who conducts universal quality research, collects data, draws conclusions based on the data, presents the results at international conferences, and publishes in international journals. Not every person with a title is a scientist, as commonly believed.
