Abstract

Amenia, SE Turkey and NW Iran are in the centre of the zone of continental collision of the Arabian lithosphere plate and have been subjected to intense faulting and earthquakes. An assessment of the natural hazard within the territory of one state is isolated and thus incomplete. The trans-boundary nature of active faults, and of the accompanying seismic and volcanic hazards, calls for trans-boundary cooperation in the study, assessment and mitigation of natural risk in the region.
