Ataturk University Earthquake Research Center, which examines the recent earthquakes, has prepared a preliminary seismology report in this direction.

After the earthquake that occurred yesterday in Karlıova district of Bingöl, another 5.6 magnitude earthquake occurred in the same center base in the region where aftershocks continued. Ataturk University Earthquake Research Center took immediate action after the earthquake that took place yesterday and completed its studies within the first 4 hours and prepared the preliminary seismology report.

It is one of the faults that cut the main fault, which we call the historical fault. Aftershocks are concentrated in those regions. There are too many fault particles. Therefore, when these faults accumulate energy, it is very natural to break them after a certain energy is collected. We always pointed out, Turkey's normal to have such an earthquake at any time any place. So let's never let go of the measures. Earthquake is a fact of our country. We should always be prepared, not just when we live. "
