Cracks in the Ataturk Dam after earthquakes?

The Atatürk Dam in southeast Turkey appears to be in critical condition after two devastating earthquakes of 7.5 and 7.8 on the Richter scale occurred relatively close to it.

Reports are coming from Turkey saying that “there are many cracks in the dam after strong earthquakes.” The surrounding areas have already been evacuated.

Experts argue that the dam could break at any moment, and the resulting devastation could affect an area of 30 square kilometers near the dam.
