Seismologist Llambro Duni explains why the earthquake in Turkey has nothing to

The strong tremors that shook Turkey and Greece today, do not threaten to affect Albania. It is the seismologist Llambro Duni who explained the reason why the tremors in the Aegean cannot promote tremors in Albania either.

"No! This is a separate tectonic unit, the Aegean plate operates on its own and has nothing to do with the rest of the Adriatic where our country is positioned, and obviously has nothing to do with it ", said Duni in an interview for 'Euronews Albania' .

Seismologist Duni said that in the two affected areas, in Samos and Izmit, there will be smaller aftershocks compared to the 7-magnitude Richter scale tremor.

"The quake struck in the Aegean area, known as the tectonic structure, which is surrounded by strong epicenters. Our Institute has also registered and made its own assessments. It was a very strong earthquake and due to the relatively shallow depth [of the epicenter] the surface effect of this event is very large and the first reports speak of something like this for a very large amount of energy released. "As for the tsunami, there have been cases in the Mediterranean and there is a possibility of a tsunami, but personally I think there will not be in this case because the tremors occurred near the continent, so I think there will simply be insignificant waves," he said
