How Will The Possible Marmara Earthquake Affect Istanbul?
Participating in NTV live broadcast, Geologist Prof. Dr. Okan Tüysüz, “How will the possible Marmara earthquake affect Istanbul and the surrounding provinces?” answered the question. Tüysüz said, “In the worst scenario, the intensity of the earthquake is 7.5… These scenarios are not to scare people, but to take precautions… Population and building density do not increase in places where disasters will occur. I wish we had reduced this intensity after 1999. The situation in Istanbul is not acceptable,” he said.
