A warning about an earthquake has come from Prof. Dr. Gürol Seyitoğlu from Ankara University. Pointing to Bolu, Seyitoğlu stated that a major earthquake is imminent. "BOLU HAS A SPECIAL PLACE"Prof. Dr. Gürol Seyitoğlu said, "Bolu has a special place. From Bolu, the North Anatolian Fault branches into different parts," and added: "The important point for Bolu is this. When you look here, you see the surface rupture of 1944, you see the section that ruptured in 1957. You see the section that ruptured in 1967. We see the section that ruptured on August 17. Then we see the section that ruptured last November with the Düzce earthquake. In the studies conducted afterwards, the existence of the Bakacak fault and the Elmalık fault is observed. We are facing a necessity here. The rupture around the Almacık block will be completed. We believe that the location of the upcoming earthquake is here, in an area that also passes through Bolu." "EVERYONE IS IN A PANIC TALKING ABOUT THE MARMARA EARTHQUAKE"Prof. Dr. Gürol Seyitoğlu emphasized, "I regret to say that most of the faults pass through the center of Bolu," stating that "If a rupture occurs somewhere, stress accumulates at both ends. If there is a rupture on the surface, think of this rupture as the ruptures of the 1999 Düzce and Kocaeli earthquakes. Everyone is in a panic talking about the Marmara earthquake. Bolu is located in the eastern part of this system," he said. "WE NEED TO SEE THAT BOLU IS ALSO AT RISK"Seyitoğlu stated, "Therefore, this system will close from here and reconnect to the North Anatolian Fault. The situation indicates that. Just as it is said that the Marmara Sea is imminent, we need to see that Bolu is also at risk."
