State Seismological Service Center addresses citizens over earthquake
The Azerbaijan National Academy of Science (ANAS) Republican Seismological Service Center has addressed the citizens.
The Center told that it recommends the citizens do not believe in unverified information of the tremors.

“The earthquake is a natural phenomenon that occurs underground. As the Seismological Service Center, we are meant to provide accurate information to the public of what really happens. People should not believe rumors and inaccurate information except for official statements. Untrue information circulating affect people negatively,” said the Center, noting that minor tremors are likely to occur during the day as the earthquake was powerful enough.
