Critical earthquake warning from Naci Görür for 2 cities! 'Seriously at risk'

Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made a new post regarding the earthquake he expects in the Erzincan-Karlıova region.

Emphasizing that Tunceli and Bingöl are under serious risk, Görür stated that a collective effort is needed to make these cities earthquake-resistant.

Friends, I read it in Hürriyet Newspaper today. Good things are happening in Tunceli. I congratulate and commend the Governor of Tunceli, Mr. Bülent Tekbıyıklıoğlu. Tunceli and Bingöl are seriously at risk. What is being done is very useful, but things that will truly and fully prepare Tunceli for an earthquake…

"EARTHQUAKE COULD REACH UP TO 7.4"

Seismologist Prof. Dr. Naci Görür had previously stated in a television program he attended that an earthquake is expected in the Erzincan-Karlıova region. Drawing attention to the Yedisu Fault, Görür said, "Tunceli is under threat." Görür had said the following:

"I might be saying this here for the first time. Tunceli is under threat. No one is talking about Tunceli today, but it is under threat. There is the Yedisu fault between Erzincan and Karlıova. This fault last produced an earthquake in the 1790s. It has the potential to produce an earthquake every 250 years. You are getting closer to the present day. Especially where Pülümür is located. We are expecting one between Erzincan and Karlıova. If this fault produces an earthquake, it could reach up to 7.4. It is not far from Tunceli. It is also surrounded by an active fault from the west. The Ovacık fault moves slowly and produces earthquakes. There is the Nazimiye fault just south of Tunceli. It is surrounded by faults on four sides. The Yedisu fault is particularly a cause for concern. It is imminent, there is no joking about it. We cannot speak precisely about the timing. We do not know the recurrence period. Task the MTA (General Directorate of Mineral Research and Exploration) to determine this. The benefit of science, the reason for the existence of a geologist, is this."
