'THE NORTH ANATOLIAN FAULT IS STILL ACTIVE'
Tüysüz used the following expressions:
"Different values are given for the magnitude of small earthquakes. These earthquakes occurred on the same fault line but in two separate locations. They should not be understood as aftershocks. These earthquakes show that the North Anatolian Fault is still active in the region and is capable of producing earthquakes."
