Prof. Dr. Naci Görür included the following statements in his explanation:

"The earthquake occurred in a region closer to Malatya, on a left-lateral fault to the west of the Pütürge segment. This region was heavily loaded during the February 6 earthquakes. The earthquake is due to that. My fellow citizens should rest easy."
