passes.
The statement came from the executive chief of the Institute of Geology
Department of geodynamics and seismology under Azerbaijan National Academy
of Science (ANAS) Gulam Babayev, APA reports.
According to him, wide radiometric, gravimetric, GPS researches and seismic
monitoring are being conducted in the area. But deep seismic researches and
deep seismic probation should be conducted for the detailed research of
ongoing process: `I will not elaborate the issue. The results of the
researches can be announced only after BP Company approves the fact. I
should say that we have very interesting results. According to preliminary
results, I can say that the current information differs from priors. It is
new information.'
Babayev said that there are potential dangerous quake grounds through the
Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline's territory: `We have composed quake
catalogues on it. Even the catalogue of mud volcanoes is being composed,
because there are many volcanoes in Absheron peninsula. We also think that
mud volcanoes in Sangachal can impact to this area. Wide researches are
