Abstract: The suggested continuous Late Palaeogene to Late Neogene compressional regime in NW central Anatolia has been investigated by the field observations coclude that in all locations, especially aroun Yuva village, the relationship between the basement and Neogene units does not satisfactorily show a compressional regime and therfore the claim of the continuous compressive tectonic regime in the NW central Anatolia is questionable.
