In the Eastern Anatolia, neotectonic regime beginning in
Middle Miocene has considerably affected the geological evolution of the
region. During the neotectonic episode, compressional tectonic regime,
characteristic for the region, resulted in formation of folds, thrust and
strike-slip faults, and large-scale extentional fractures. Under the control of
all these structural elements, basically two types of basins (intermountain and
pull-apart) are formed. Among these, Muş, Ahlat-Adilcevaz and Karayazı-Tekman
basins are the intermountain basins. Kağızman-Tuzluca basin, however, has been
evolved as a pull-apart type. The Erzurum-Pasinler-Horasan is another type of
intermountain basin which was also affected by strike-slip faults. The general
features of the new episode deposits are to be in nonmarine facies and with the
coeval volcanites their accumulation in separate basins.
