Celentis for 7.8 Richter earthquake in Turkey: I fear that the victims will exceed 1,000

I fear that the victims of the earthquake in Turkey will exceed 1,000» emphasized the director of the Geodynamic Institute, Akis Tselentis, for the earthquake of 7.8 Richter. The possibility that it is related to Greece is negligible.

“I went to the area seven years ago and saw that the infrastructure was in poor condition, even new houses, built supposedly according to Turkey’s latest anti-seismic regulation, were badly built, so the casualties will be much more. Meanwhile, the post-seismic sequence will last months, and will have events of 6.5 maybe even 7 Richter, you understand what this means for the burdened buildings, it’s a tragic situation” said Mr. Tselentis speaking to SKAI. “We had collapses and at a distance of 100 kilometers you understand the quality of the constructions there,” he pointed out.

Explaining because the earthquake is not related to Greece, noted that there is the African plate, which strikes the Arabian plate to the east. The Arabian plate is separated from Turkey by a fault. On this rift the earthquake happened. This fault has nothing to do with the fault of northern Anatolia which also affects the Greek area because it reaches the northern Aegean.

Is the possibility of affecting Greece is very small, even negligible, is far away and has a different directionality. If it was on the northern Anatolia fault, then yes we would have had an issue, like in ’99”, explains Akis Tselentis.
