Two earthquakes measuring 3.9 and 4.2 occurred in the Gemlik district of Bursa, causing panic in many provinces, including Istanbul. Earthquake expert Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made a concerning statement, saying, "We are expecting an earthquake in the Marmara region, specifically in the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault, but this area is also significant. It accumulates energy slowly, but it is dangerous. Authorities should be cautious and make this area earthquake-resistant."

MESSAGES FROM NACİ GÖRÜR
After two earthquakes that occurred 70 minutes apart in Bursa, Prof. Dr. Naci Görür also made a quick statement. In his statements regarding the issue on his X account, Görür said after the first earthquake, "A 4.0 earthquake occurred in Şahinyurdu-Gemlik/Bursa. It is on the southern branch of the North Anatolian Fault. We expect an earthquake in the northern branch of the KAF in Marmara, but this area is also important. It is accumulating energy but is dangerous. Administrators must be careful and this place should be made earthquake-resistant. The public should demand it."
"EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT GEMLİK"
After the second earthquake of 4.2, Görür made another post saying, "A shallow 4.4 earthquake occurred again in Şahinyurdu-Gemlik/Bursa. The statement about making this region earthquake-resistant should be conveyed to our administrators once again on this occasion. EARTHQUAKE-RESISTANT GEMLİK. With love," he said.
