The earthquakes felt in Azerbaijan in recent days are not an echo of the earthquake in Izmir. Director of the Republican Seismological Service Center (RSSC) Gurban Yetirmishli told APA: "There is not a day when we do not register an earthquake, there are about 25-30 earthquakes a day. Of these, 18 are still weak. We disseminate information about earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 3 on the Richter scale, both to ourselves and to foreign organizations with which we cooperate.
The magnitude of the quake was 4 in Imishli and 3 in the surrounding areas. Two days ago, an earthquake was felt in Khachmaz in the Caspian Sea. The quake hit the Dagestan part of the Caspian Sea. We also report on earthquakes that we feel in neighboring countries. But there is nothing to fear. " G. Yetirmishli said that the earthquake in Izmir had nothing to do with Azerbaijan, and we did not feel the earthquake in terms of distance: "The distance between Izmir and Azerbaijan is about 2,000 km. The tectonic faults in the earthquake in Izmir and our faults are completely different from a geological point of view. It has no effect here, and the recent earthquakes in Azerbaijan are not an echo of the earthquake in Izmir.
