The catastrophic earthquakes in Eastern Turkey (Eastern Mediterranean) require their geodynamic understanding.The two most decisive events with magnitudes of 7.95 and 7.86 on 06.02.2023, followed by a series of more than 10,000 significant aftershocks.These tragic events led to the death of more than 60 thousand people.The above values indicate the colossal tension created in the Earth's crust.The region where these strongest earthquakes occurred is a complex junction zone of four tectonic plate
