Prof. Dr. Şükrü Ersoy: He emphasized that it would be wrong to say 'There will be a big earthquake' or 'Nothing will happen'

Geological Engineer Prof. Dr. Şükrü Ersoy evaluated the earthquakes off the coast of the Islands in the NTV broadcast. Emphasizing that it would be wrong to say 'There will be a big earthquake', Ersoy said, "It would also be wrong to say 'Nothing will happen'." Explaining that the earthquakes in Istanbul took place on the Adalar Fault, Ersoy said, 'This fault has a slightly different character than the Avcılar and Kumburgaz faults. Because of the different and slow movement of the Adalar Fault, it is often thought that it is passive, but it is not. Yesterday's earthquakes also show us that this fault is active.' he said. 'These earthquakes are an indication of how alive the region is.' Ersoy said, 'Is it necessary to panic? No. These are some of the usual activities. All earthquakes are carefully examined.' he said. Explaining that there is a huge information pollution on social media, Ersoy said, 'There are conversations as if they are experts. Pollution creates fear and anxiety in the public. 'We have been constantly giving opinions on this issue since last night.' he said.
