Carlo Doglioni, head of Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology, said the earth moved three meters following the devastating early morning earthquake in Turkey.

Assoc. Prof. Bülent Özmen from Gazi University's Faculty of Engineering reminded that the length of the broken fault will be clarified by measurement and stated that instead of saying that Turkey has slipped three meters, it would be more accurate to say "3 meters of thrust and translation has occurred in the Pazarcık segment of the Eastern Anatolian Fault".
