It's one thing to ask questions. It's another thing entirely to suggest that the earthquakes are unusual in depth and/or frequency and that there's something nefarious. We need someone with some expertise to explain why those assertions are valid. You linked to the map, but not to anyone with some expertise to explain any of it or to offer context regarding whether this is normal or not.
I'm not a trained geologist, but I will put forward a few things:
Turkey is in the middle of two colliding continents. Africa is drifting north into Europe. In 10-20 million years, the Mediterranean will close as Africa hits Europe. All of that means we're going to see earthquakes along the areas where the continental plates collide.
It's no secret that there's a ton of oil/fossil fuel drilling in this region. Pulling large amounts of volume out of the rock destabilizes the rock under immense pressure and increases the risk of quakes as the pressure equilibrates.
I am not sure if they are fracking here, but if they are, fracking is well known to cause quakes, even in highly stable strata in the middle of continents, again, because of the immense pressure shifts as the slickwater is pumped in and as hydrocarbons (fossil fuels) are pulled out.
10,000 ft is not an unusual depth for oil wells.
We need to exhaust natural explanations before turning to sci-fi. I'm asking for a source here because wild, unfounded speculation isn't helpful to anyone. I'm seeing a ton of crazy garbage floating around about how these quakes are somehow being deliberately caused or timed by nefarious actors. There's NO evidence publicly available that suggests any technology of the kind exists. Running around screaming stupidity with our hair on fire doesn't do anyone any good. We should have sources and be making a reasonable effort to do the most basic thinking before running straight to the sci-fi - even by mere implication.
