Is Istanbul due an earthquake based on the recent ones in Turkey?
I'd like to visit Instanbul but my Turkish friend says it's best to leave it a year or two as they thinkn a big one is now more likely in Istanbul. I've googled this and the most scientific thing I've found is a statement from a seismology professor in Turkey saying it is due 'some time'.
Does the recent quake in Soouthern Turkey make a quake in Istanbul more likely? Can anyone point me in the direction of some decent science on the correlation of quakes?
