The Shamakhi-Ismayilli region is the most active seismic zone of Azerbaijan, and earthquakes occurring there can awaken and other seismic sources, said at the press conference, Gurban Yetirmishli, the head of the Republican Seismological Service Center of the Academy of Sciences. He said that the earthquake which happened on October 7 in the Ismayili region was strong enough. However, because the tremors occurred at a depth of 40 km., the earthquake did not cause serious damage, although it was felt in many parts of the country.
For comparison, the May earthquake in Zagatala region was of similar capacity - 5.6-5.7 magnitude, but because of shallow depth of tremors (8-10 km), it caused damages.
As for yesterday's earthquake in Shamakhi and Mingachevir, Yetirmishli said that it is a region of seismic tension and activity there continues. According to him, the tremors could continue along the lines of tectonic breaks.—06D-
