Geoscientist Prof. Dr. Naci Görür made an assessment regarding the earthquake on his social media account X. In his message, Görür stated, "There was a 4.4 earthquake in the Aegean. It is a relatively deep earthquake.
As can be seen from the sea bathymetry, it is on a NE-SW trending fault. The floor of the Aegean Sea is full of numerous extensional faults," he said.
STATEMENT ON THE VAN EARTHQUAKE
Regarding the Van earthquake, Görür said the following:
13 hours ago, there was a 4.0 earthquake in Çolpan, Van. The earthquake was a shallow one between the Erciş and Karayazı fault zones.
This region had sustained certain damage during the 2011 Van Earthquake. Get well soon, with love.
