[Regnum] The resort town of Izmir in Turkey is in the risk zone for a strong earthquake, which could be even stronger than the earthquake in Istanbul predicted by seismologists, said Sinancan Ozicher, head of the Chamber of Geophysical Engineers.

One of the branches of the North Anatolian fault runs in the Sea of Marmara, not far from Istanbul. According to scientists, a powerful earthquake with a magnitude of over seven could occur in Istanbul and the Marmara region. The economic consequences of such an event would be felt by all of Turkey. This was stated to RIA Novosti by Haluk Eyidogan, a professor of seismology and a member of the Istanbul Municipality Council of Scientists on Earthquake Issues.
According to Istanbul City Hall, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake would cause at least 90,000 buildings to collapse in the city, leaving around 4.5 million residents homeless. Insurance companies estimate the possible damage from the quake at over $325 billion.
Ozicher believes that Izmir is more vulnerable to earthquakes than Istanbul.
"Due to the special soil, earthquake waves can be two to three times stronger than usual. Buildings on this soil are high-rise buildings of eight or more floors," said the scientist, as quoted by the newspaper Duvar.
Oziçer also noted that some buildings in Izmir are outdated and illegally built. He predicted that the region could be hit by a 6.9 magnitude earthquake that would last 20-22 seconds.
The scientist did not name the date when the natural cataclysm might occur.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, there were no reports of damage or casualties due to the earthquake on January 19 in the Yalta region.
On January 12, an earthquake with a magnitude of 4.2 was recorded off the coast of Crimea in the Black Sea. It occurred at a distance of 75 km southeast of Kerch and 60 km south of Taman. The source was at a depth of 45 km.
On the night of January 11, an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.5 occurred in Sochi. The source of the tremors was located at a depth of 5 km. As a result of the seismic event, no one was killed or injured, and no calls were received from the population.
