For a new strong earthquake of up to 7 Richter in the already affected areas of Turkey – warned speaking on SKAI TV, Professor Efthymis Lekkas, speaking of a “domino” of seismic tremors 600 km long and 50 km wide.
The domino can directly affect the arc of Cyprus, while the most important thing is when there will be a big earthquake in Istanbul, as said by the president of the Anti-Seismic Planning and Protection Organization (OASP).
Seismologists internationally expect the Istanbul fault to activate by 2024 and produce a strong earthquake.
When the earthquake happens in Istanbul, it will be assessed and then we will see how it can affect Greece.
However, ten “direct actions” have already been launched in the country, which include the mandatory inspections of buildings, as the professor said.
These actions will be developed immediately. And they will be announced in the next period.
