Professor Dr. Naci Görür, who stated that Adana is among the cities that are dangerous in terms of earthquakes, said, "We need to be a little careful in Adana. We are expecting it because there are branches of the Eastern Anatolian fault there. Energy may have been transferred there, one of them may have been triggered and can generate an earthquake. We need to be careful in Adana." "WE NEED TO BE CAREFUL IN ADANA"There has been a concerning statement from earthquake scientist Professor Dr. Naci Görür. He made a warning for Adana, which is among the cities affected by the earthquake centered in Kahramanmaraş on February 6, 2023, with magnitudes of 7.7 and 7.6. Görür drew attention to the earthquake risk in Adana and said, "We need to be a little careful in Adana. We are expecting it because there are branches of the Eastern Anatolian fault there. Energy may have been transferred there, one of them may have been triggered and can generate an earthquake. We need to be careful in Adana." "THERE MAY BE TROUBLE IN THE HAKKARI REGION"Görür continued his words as follows: "I have a prediction. I say there may be trouble in the Hakkari region as well. The earthquakes in Maraş moved Eastern Anatolia, and the Arabian plate moved northward. I think it may have compressed the Hakkari region in the north. I am warning that region with scientific prediction as well. I say we need to be careful, but I cannot say when." These movements in the Eastern Anatolian fault, especially in the northern part, a movement that can occur between Bingöl Karlıova and Göynük, where we expect an earthquake of 7.2. It will also trigger the partially unbroken section of the North Anatolian fault. Remember, the 1939 Erzincan earthquake triggered the 1971 Bingöl earthquake. When we say triggering, it means this happens and then the other one happens, it is not like that. Energy transfers are possible in faults that have a geometric relationship with each other. Now, I think that as a result of the major movements of this Eastern Anatolian fault, it may have accelerated the movement in that section from Bingöl to Erzincan."
