The controversial Greek seismologist Akis Tselentis, who was quoted by Ilir Meta as having predicted an apocalyptic earthquake in Albania following the one in Durres, has “struck” again.
This time, he has raised alarms among the Greeks, declaring that a major earthquake is expected in the coming hours in the area near the Greek island of Santorini, which has been under the influence of continuous seismic tremors for the past two days.
According to him, the seismic zone is continuously expanding to the northeast, and it appears that the large fault of Amorgos has been reactivated, which caused the devastating earthquake in 1956. The seismic activity exhibits the characteristics of an earthquake foreshock sequence, meaning the longer the main earthquake does not occur, the larger its magnitude will be.
This is not the first time Tselentis has made such statements. Earlier, he claimed to have predicted the devastating earthquake that hit the border between Turkey and Syria. He has also faced lawsuits in the past for spreading panic with his declarations.
This further highlights Tselentis’ controversial reputation, especially given his history of making alarming predictions about seismic activity. He seems to believe that the current situation is a precursor to something much larger.
