YEREVAN. – The powerful quake occurred in Van, Turkey, was followed by tremors registered in Azerbaijan’s Zakatala city and Iran. The aftershocks are not yet over, Armenian Ministry of Emergency Situations representative A1hkhen Tovmasyan told reporters on Thursday.

The quakes were followed by the one registered nearby Igdir, Turkey, which was recorded in Armenia as well.
