This is also supported by the fact that the fracture zone of the last strong earthquake in the region, in 1999, ended precisely in this area — probably at the same structure, which has been impeding the progressive shift of the Anatolian plate in the south against the Eurasian plate in the north since 1766 and building up pressure.
