Turkish authorities will not issue permits for new homes in areas close to seismically active faults, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Monday."We will not allow construction in areas close to faults and in regions with liquefaction. As for new construction in previously built-up areas, high-rise buildings will be forbidden there. We will start building 30,000 apartments in March. The new houses will be no more than three to four stories high," Erdogan said at a briefing in Adıyaman.
He said that the number of aftershocks has exceeded 10 thousand since February 6.
