Great concern among Turks in Germany
The vast majority of the population of Pazarcık, the epicenter of the earthquake, lives in Europe and especially in Germany.
In addition, those who have relatives in the surrounding provinces and districts are trying hard to get information about the situation in Turkey. Because of those who urgently want to go to Turkey, plane tickets began to sell out. Traffic disruption due to snow also negatively affects flights.
HEADQUARTERS IN POTDSDAM: 7.4 to 7.9
Meanwhile, the Earthquake Research and Study Center in Potsdam, Germany, announced that the magnitude of the quake was between 7.4 and 7.9. Many foreign sources also give similar figures.
If the earthquake is greater than 7.4, it will be recorded as the largest earthquake in Turkey since 1999. The 1999 Düzce earthquake was measured as 7.4 on the Richter scale. 17 thousand people died in that earthquake.
