Turkish mayor claims mystery foreign power responsible for Aegean quake

‘Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek has called for an immediate investigation into “seismic research vessels” in the Aegean Sea following Monday’s 6.3 magnitude earthquake which claimed one life.
“Now I think that this might be an artificial earthquake. I do not say it is certain but it is a very serious possibility,” Gökçek tweeted. “I say that it should definitely be investigated. Was there any seismic research ship sailing near the epicenter? If so, which country does it belong to?”
For perspective, Gökçek has been mayor of Ankara for 20 years, having been reelected five times in a row.
He also posted several videos in Turkish which discuss the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) developed by the US Air Force, Navy and DARPA – which has been the source of wild conspiracy theories that claim it is a weather control device.’
