"We are not facing such a risk," said Papazachos speaking to Athens-Macedonian News Agency on Tuesday. "The fault in Durres is a very well known seismic fault and its activity is known from the antiquity."
Asked if this earthquake can provoke a tsunami due to the open seas, he said that it may "provoke small waves but not an Indonesia-type tsunami".
