STATEMENT FROM NACI GÖRÜR

Following the earthquake, which caused brief panic in the region, earthquake expert Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made a statement.

Regarding the 4.8 magnitude earthquake, Görür said, "A 4.8 earthquake occurred in Darende-Şuğul (Malatya). This earthquake is not on the East Anatolian Fault (DAF) or the Malatya Fault. The surface rupture is not clear."

Görür also stated the following:

"It is likely on a fault line extending in the NW-SE direction between Darende and Şuğul towards the Malatya Fault. It must be a fault that was loaded and triggered as a result of the February 6 earthquakes. Get well soon."
