Mammadli said that the southern slope of the Great Caucasus, including Zagatala region is seismically active zone: “There are large active deep faults. The weak seismic shocks are always recorded here. According to Gutenberg Richter Law, probability of recurrences of strong quake is higher. It was expected, because one of the epicenters is located here. The last strong quake (7-magnitude) was recorded in that region in 1936”.
