Abstract
In February 2023, a pair of strong earthquakes of magnitude 7.8 and 7.6 occurred in southern Turkey. Every devastating earthquake almost always provokes a discussion of seismic hazards and arising of new questions. The case of the Turkish earthquakes is not an exception. Moreover, these earthquakes aff ected an economically developed area with a high population density, a quite well-studied area, well provided with geophysical observations.
