Geologist Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made statements following the 5.9 magnitude earthquake that occurred in Malatya.

Prof. Dr. Görür stated "there is no cause for concern" and noted the following:

"A 6.0 magnitude earthquake occurred in Akuşağı-Kale/Malatya. It is on the East Anatolian Fault Zone. As you know, this fault had largely broken due to the 2020 Elazığ earthquake. The earthquake that occurred today is likely a result of energy transfer from the February 6, 2023, earthquakes to this fault. There is no cause for concern."
