    REPERCUSSIONS OF TURKISH QUAKE REACH ARMENIAN CAPITAL
    YEREVAN, JULY 2, ARMENPRESS: Repercussions of a moderate earthquake
    in eastern Turkey that destroyed houses, killing 18 people and injuring
    21 more on Friday, reached Armenia on July 2 overnight.
    The earthquake, which struck around 3 a.m. Friday, Armenia time,
    caused heavy damage in several villages in Turkish Dogubeyazit
    province, near the Iranian border. Turkish officials said that rescue
    efforts had been completed and the death toll was not expected to
    increase.
    The quake measured 5.1 in Turkish province on the Richter scale and
    3 in Yerevan. Two massive earthquakes hit northwestern Turkey in 1999,
    killing about 18,000 people.
