Nothing as yet in Turkish press,about any major quake in Turkey, so hopefully it's not as serious as might be thought.

Not so hopeful about the one in Kyrgystan, though.

i agree with you

the Kyrgystan quake looks to have effected a large area

http://ca.reuters.com/article/topNews/idCATRE76I6IT20110719

could be a while before we know how much damage this has caused.

At least 13 people were killed in Uzbekistan as a result of a powerful earthquake in the Ferghana valley region of Central Asia on Wednesday, the Uzbek Emergencies Ministry said in a statement. "According to preliminary data, 13 people were killed as a result of destruction to houses," the ministry said on its website. The U.S. Geological Survey said the magnitude 6.1 earthquake had its epicentre some 42 km (26 miles) southwest of Ferghana, a city in the east of Uzbekistan close to the Kyrgyz border.
