Turkey`s earthquake will not affect Greece, says Professor Lekkas
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
"We still don't know if the 7.7 Richter earthquake that hit southern Turkey on Monday morning was the main one," professor and president of the Earthquake Planning and Protection Organisation of Greece, Efthymios Lekkas, told the Athens-Macedonian News Ahency (ANA).
"It's a very big earthquake and its consequences will be multiple," Lekkas said adding that it occured in a large fault that starts in Lebanon and goes all the way to the Black Sea.
Lekkas estimated that this earthquake will not affect faults in the Greek area nor is it related to the 4.2 Richter earthquake that occurred in the early morning in Rhodes.
