secretary-general of the european mediterranean seismological center.hanks so much for joining us. we are talking about two massive earthquakes. the first a 7.8 and then a 7.5. was the second quake in aftershock because that seems quite powerful for in aftershock. >> it is not in aftershock. we have two different earthquakes. the first 1, 7 .8 a 200 kilometer length. aftershocks are normally a rupture. we hear we have a second shock 100 kilometers away. if you look at the aftershock after the second shock, they are trending east to west. have 22 different faults which have been activated. we have a domino effect. the first one has created its own aftershocks but it also triggered the second one 100 kilometers away. which also generated its own aftershocks. >> what can you tell us more about this region? there have been other powerful earthquakes in the past. >> exactly. turkey, you have the north faults which has broken since the 1930's to 1999. in 1999 it killed 17 to 30,000 people. we are expecting a large earthquake south of istanbul where we are sti

the strength of the earthquake, according to the european, mediterranean seismological center , reachesagnitudes of seven and eight. of which magnitude is over six. an alarm of the highest fourth level has been declared in turkey, which implies international assistance from the ministry of internal affairs and the ministry of health to rescuers and other departments of the country to eliminate the consequences of the earthquake. the president of turkey expressed words of support to citizens on social networks. i hope that together we will survive this catastrophe, as quickly as possible and with the least damage, and here are the most difficult situations in syria and for earthquakes and at least 99 people died and more than 200 were injured in the three provinces of lataki aleppo and hamme maria savushkina andrey mikhailov channel one. the hot line of the lpr, the criminal svatov, the kiev regime throws thousands of soldiers there, like cannon fodder , another group of ukrainian saboteurs tried to break through to our positions, but the defense was firmly spotted , they let it in close

return, so this is the house the epicenter of the earthquake, according to the european mediterranean seismological centerwas approximately. kilometers from turkish gaziantep, which has a population of more than a million people and here too many russian speakers i woke up from what was the strongest jolt. uh, the chandeliers swayed and rang. we all ran out into the street and the neighbors also all got into cars and quickly moved away from the earthquake. there was a very strong lot of talk, about eight points, strong tremors were felt in one of the most popular resort towns. we have been living in turkey for 2 years and in these two years for the first time i felt such a powerful echo of the earthquake. usually we have it happened literally 2-3 seconds. this time of course everything was different for about 1 minute and the echoes of earthquakes. the tremors were repeated several times, they were on the site where the nuclear power plant is being built, so far no damage has been done. there, the experts did not reveal, but still they are waiting for the conclusion of the experts, who will say for sure.

separated by some time does not mean that the intervals were calm, according to the european mediterranean seismological center of aftershocks in central turkey alone by the middle of the day exceeded a hundred , with the constant danger of new shocks , the rescuers managed to get people from the upper floors of dilapidated buildings and pull the survivors out of the rubble. turkey is an extremely active region of the small peninsula. asia is the place interacts with five lithospheric plates . the current one happened where three lithospheric plates meet at once at the junction of the east natal fault and the dead sea transformation fault. why, according to experts, the second push was comparable in strength to the main one. and this can also speak of a seismic doublet and that the most powerful earthquake has not yet occurred. we can't say now, was it the main push? that is, it may well be that in a couple of days an even stronger earthquake will occur there, and then we will say that everything that was before, including. here is an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8, these were forshmaks. that is, until we

early on, the european mediterranean seismological center recorded vibrations with a magnitude of 5.3the richter scale. this happened this morning around the 10th. the epicenter of the earthquake was located 113 km from the city of bender-a-bas, which has a population of 350,000 according to preliminary information. fortunately, no one was injured. the damage it could cause to the infrastructure and housing stock should be assessed by a special commission. and the disappointing information in from turkey the number of victims of yesterday's earthquake in the south-east of the country has already reached six people. well, it is not clear, and it is also very unfortunate that today there was also an earthquake in iceland. the magnitude of the earthquake was 5.1 on the richter scale. the therapy center is located 216 km from the country's capital, reykjavik. fortunately, there were no victims and no destruction, and in the end there could not have been any because we know that very few people live in iceland and there are very few buildings. and another earthquake was on the move today i
