"A 4.5 magnitude earthquake occurred in Polat-Doğanşehir/Malatya. I believe this earthquake is within the Malatya Fault Zone. The Malatya Fault is a slow-moving fault. The last earthquake was approximately 2,500 years ago. It has also been loaded by recent earthquakes. It is worrying. It must be studied seriously. MTA, AFAD, and UNIVERSITIES are the candidate institutions."
