Geological Engineer Prof. Dr. Osman Bektaş evaluated the natural disasters, especially landslides and floods, which have been seen intensively in the Eastern Black Sea region in recent years. Stating that earthquakes have a triggering effect on the increase in landslides, Bektaş said, “The Black Sea coast should be ready for an earthquake of 6.6 magnitude or higher at any time. The coastal areas are much more dangerous and risky.”
