Director General of the Republic Seismological Service Center of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences Gurban Yetirmishli told APA that geophysical studies on profiles in the country showed that seismic activity was high in Balakan and Shamakhi regions: “The activity is still being observed in these regions. Seismic activity is being also observed in south region of Azerbaijan due to the active deep fault in Lerik.”

Yetirmishli said that at present, Kur lowland and the western part of Azerbaijan are relatively calm: “The quakes occurred in Iran have impact on the territory of Nakhchivan. But activity is not strong in the Autonomous Republic, it is at the level of background here.”
