Prominent Turkish seismologist Naci Grr predicted devastating earthquakes with a magnitude of 7.6 on the Richter scale in Istanbul, according to “Russia Today”.
Gurur had repeatedly warned the authorities of previous earthquakes, and the Turkish authorities are planning to resettle residents of approximately one and a half million apartments in Istanbul, located in buildings that are not resistant to earthquakes, according to statements by former Turkish Urban Development Minister Murat Kurum last March.
According to city council calculations, in the event of a 7.5-magnitude earthquake, at least 90,000 buildings will collapse, and about 4.5 million citizens may need temporary housing.
