Turkey had a great position controlling access to the Black Sea during a major conflict, then Earthquakes happened. Given the oil and Americans in the region, I wonder if they are fracking....
Fracking does not and cannot cause large, deep earthquakes like the one recently in Turkey, in which plates significantly move in respect to each other.
They can cause very shallow, weak earthquakes, where the top of earth's crust slightly moves.
“The Feb. 25 earthquake was only a magnitude 4.9, which would not traditionally be considered very dangerous. But it was able to destroy older and more vulnerable buildings because it was so close to the surface -- only about one kilometer deep according to the new study”
