After the strong tremors of the earthquake in the "Ilgaz" neighborhood of Çankir, which brought back the nightmare of panic among the residents of the area, the warnings of the geophysical engineers, who have constantly requested measures to be taken for other strong tremors in the future, have come back to attention. .

Recently, it was the geophysical engineer, Prof. Dr. Ahmet Ercan, who warned that there may be an earthquake with a magnitude of 6 to 6.8 between Bolu-Gerede-Çankırı.

The Disaster and Emergency Management Center (AFAD) announced that yesterday's tremors were of magnitude 4.5, the epicenter of which was the Çankiri area. It was established that the earthquake was at a depth of 7 kilometers.

"The December 27 earthquake in Çankırı-Ilgaz, at 4:04 p.m., shows that the North Anatolian fault lies in this region. In the future, there is a tendency for a discharge of M6.0-M6.8 between Bolu-Gerede-Çankırı. We don't know the exact duration or date, but we have to be vigilant," said Ercan.

We recall that two more earthquakes occurred in Çankırı Ilgaz, with a magnitude of 3.5 on December 22 and 3.8 on December 1.
