Statement from Naci Görür following the earthquake in the Mediterranean

The Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD) Earthquake Department announced that a 4.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in the Mediterranean at approximately 12:05.

Following the earthquake, Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made a statement on his X account.

Görür noted the following in his statement:

"Friends, 4.3 and 4.1 magnitude earthquakes occurred in the Dodecanese Islands (Kalymnos) and the Gulf of Antalya (off the coast of Alanya). The cause of both earthquakes is the Hellenic-Cyprus subduction zone. Along this zone, the African Plate is subducting beneath the Anatolian Plate, with love."

Arkadaşlar Oniki Adalar’da (Kalimnos) ve Antalya Körfezi’nde (Alanya açıkları) 4,3 ve 4,1 depremler oldu. Her iki depremin nedeni de Helen-Kıbrıs Dalma-batma zonu. Bu zon boyunca Afrika Levhası Anadolu Levhasının altına dalıyor, sevgiyle.
