Turkey earthquake reveals a new active fault zone By Wendy Zukerman An earthquake of magnitude 7.2 struck Turkey yesterday, killing more than 200 people and injuring thousands. Turkey is one of the most quake-prone countries in the world. Most of it lies on the Anatolian plate, a small wedge-shaped tectonic plate that is being squeezed westwards as the Arabian plate to the east slams into the Eurasian plate.
The PKK-branded a terrorist organisation by Turkey and its Western allies-has been fighting for Kurdish self-determination since 1984. A ceasefire was signed in 2013. The Turkish government says it is ready to fight all the enemies of its national interest.he buffer zone plan reportedly gives Turkey a starring role in the conflict alongside the US. The plan is said to envisage driving IS out of northern Syria, through US air strikes. Syrian opposition groups-vetted and supported by Turkey and the US-would fill the vacuum, putting a brake on Kurdish territorial gains.
