400 Million years ago?[edit]

The claim that the crater occupied by the lake formed 400 million years ago is highly suspect. The entire volcano would have eroded away long before that interval had passed. Even if some part of the crater remained, the chance of another eruption there is practically nil. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.35.77.149 (talk) 05:53, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Turkish article says 4-5 Mya so I deleted the zeros and added [citation needed] tag. 2A01:260:D001:FC6F:DD42:83A:A0D9:335E (talk) 01:25, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
