Bulgaria: Turkey Hit by Seismic Storm BGNES

More than 1,000 of different magnitude were registered within a week in a very small section in western Turkey across from the Greek island of Lesbos, reported the European Seismological Centre (EMSC).

Turkish media referred to the event as a “Seismic storm” and the Mayor of Ankara insisted that authorities check whether there isn’t a “seismic ship” sent to the region by Fethullah Gulen in order to cause a disaster and economic collapse.

EMSC is baffled by the frequency of seismic activities and reported that, since February 6 alone, they have registered:

-         4 earthquakes of magnitude 5 or more

-         16 earthquakes of magnitude 4 or more

-         126 earthquakes of magnitude 3 or more

-         967 earthquakes of magnitude 2 or more
