"A REGION WITH DESTRUCTIVE EARTHQUAKES"

Prof. Dr. Süleyman Pampal stated the following in a statement made on CNN TÜRK:

There are active faults running through Bursa. This is a region where a 6.7 magnitude earthquake occurred in 1964. It continues towards the Aegean from there. Unfortunately, this area is significant in terms of being a region with destructive earthquakes due to the presence of active faults that could generate earthquakes on the southern branch of the North Anatolian Fault. The dangerous areas on this southern branch include regions around Bursa, Iznik, and Yalova... We emphasize that we should talk about Marmara when discussing Istanbul. The entire Marmara region is affected. The earthquakes in this vicinity are not very significant as they occur frequently in these areas, but they are important in terms of warning us.
