Azerbaijani seismologists recorded quakes in Iran 13-30 hours earlier

Azerbaijani earthquake forecasting stations recorded the quakes occurred in Iran on August 14, 15, 16 and 19 13-30 hours earlier, the Director of Cybernitician Istitute of National Academy of Science of Azerbaijan Telman Aliyev told APA.

According to him, the abnormal seysmic processes were recorded in registration list of “Gum adasi” station before the quakes occurred in Iran: “We didn’t know that the quake would occur exactly in Iran. We approximatelty knew the quake directions. In order to identify the distinct quake directions the number of such stations must be increased. That’s why no information dealing with the quake occurrence was sent to Iran. The registration of quake before their occurrence demonstrates the successful work of seysmic station installed in Azerbaijan”.

Aliyev said that “Gum adasi” station recorded the quake occurred on August 14 in Iran 16 hours earliyer, the quakes occurred on August 15 and 16 – 14 hours earlier, the quake occurred in North-West Iran on August 19 – 30 hours earlier and the quake occurred in North-East Iran – 13 hours earlier: “We invited international eksperts to Azerbaijan. These recordings will be demosntrated to them”.

Aliyev mentioned that curretly 5 quake forecasting stations operate in Gum adasi, Siyazan, Shirvan, Neftchala and Naftalan: “One more station will be installed in Nakhchivan. Such stations will be also installed in Turkey and Turkmenistan. But the stations operating in the country haven’t been united via network yet, all of them operate separately. These stations will give information to the server via sattelite and the results will be synchronically analyzed. Such projects are prepared under the control of the academisian of Ministry of Connection and Information Technology Ali Abbasov. When the stations will be united in server form, we will try to identify the distinct quake coordinations”.

6.2 magnitudes quake occurred in Iran with quake epicentrium in Varzigan city and also in Tabriz, Ahar, Ardabil and Urmiya cities of East Azerbaijan Province on August 11. The majotiry of human losses occurred Ahar, Varzigan and Heris cities. 306 people were killed and mone than 3000 were injured as a result of natural disaster.
