Prof. Dr. Naci Görür drew attention to the area between Erzincan and Karlıova, stating, "The earthquakes on February 6 also transferred energy to that region. If there is going to be an earthquake in this country in the near future, the likelihood is higher in that area. I have to inform my people about the place where the probability is higher."
Geologist Prof. Dr. Naci Görür, who participated in the "Başka Bir Söz" program on SÖZCÜ TV, stated, "Scientists have used very different methods to predict earthquakes in advance. No earthquake has similar characteristics to another. Generally, they do not resemble each other. An earthquake that is said to be coming to Istanbul is compared in the scientific world. None of these signs exist in China or Africa," he said.
"WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THE YEDISU FAULT WILL PRODUCE AN EARTHQUAKE"
Görür expressed the following regarding the earthquake; "Earthquake resilience has come to the forefront among scientists. My colleagues and I, as geologists in Turkey, are very seriously concerned that the Yedisu Fault between Erzincan and Karlıova will produce an earthquake in that region. There is no need for prophecy. The earthquake recurrence period on the Yedisu Fault has expired. It produces an earthquake every 250 years. The last earthquake was in the 1790s, and we have come to today. This place is prone to produce earthquakes.
"READY TO BREAK"
When the 1939 Erzincan earthquake occurred, this segment had not broken. It is ready to break and has become more dangerous. The earthquakes on February 6 also transferred energy to that region. If there is going to be an earthquake in this country in the near future, the likelihood is high that it will occur here. I must inform my people about the place with a high probability.
"WE WARNED ABOUT MARAŞ, MALATYA, HATAY; NO ONE LISTENED"
For years, we shouted to pay attention to Maraş, Malatya, and Hatay, saying that an earthquake is coming. All the people living there know this. No one took this into account. We wrote these reports to every state official that came to mind. What can we do as the scientific community?"
