Şükrü Ersoy lashes out at timeline claims regarding the Istanbul earthquake

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan claimed that there would not be an earthquake in Istanbul in the near future. Prof. Dr. Şükrü Ersoy reacted very harshly to this claim.

Ersoy stated, "Saying there will be no earthquake for 100-200 years is a crime."

Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan's statement was put to Geological Engineer Prof. Dr. Şükrü Ersoy. Prof. Dr. Ersoy reacted very harshly to the statement.

Here are the statements made by Prof. Ersoy, who joined the CNN Türk broadcast:

It is a very unfortunate statement, a very unscientific statement. There is no consistency even within the statement itself; it is a paranoid statement. Turkey's most serious institutions, such as Kandilli, are making statements regarding Istanbul.

We are working to ensure that the project we call urban transformation is implemented as soon as possible and to draw attention to the danger.

When citizens see this kind of statement, they will say, 'So the professors are talking nonsense.' These are statements that have nothing to do with geology and seismology. This is the first time I am making such a statement.

The Sea of Marmara has become one of the best-studied seas in the world.

There are serious studies being conducted here. I also think it lacks historical knowledge.

Our citizens should not believe such unscientific statements. Of course, anyone can make a statement, but these statements must be based on scientific data.

The Marmara region is one of the places that has been studied by hundreds of scientists. We are already 24 years late. This is the first time I've been this angry.

Saying there will be no earthquake for 100-200 years is to be under a burden of responsibility, and this is also a crime.
