Ercan stated the following:

"There was a M5.3 earthquake at 17:46 at a depth of 7 km in Sincik, Adıyaman, followed by a M4.7 aftershock. These are aftershocks of the earthquake that broke four faults and released a total tension of M8.0. Aftershocks in the 11 provinces will continue for 2 to 3 years, reaching up to M6.3. Structures that have experienced earthquakes are fatigued. Steel structures should be built."
