Qara Chattan land slide is a very old, back to Pleistocene, since an alluvial fan is swept off from its location. The slid masses belong to the Qamchuqa Formation.
The proposed dam site is very far from the landslide area and it is within another anticline and other formations.
So what is the relation between them?
I think " Should we know the stratigraphy of that area to determine their relationship ".
With my respect !!
Dear Dr. Ahmad, I already have mentioned very briefly the stratigraphy. There is no any relation, neither stratigraphically, nor tectonically.

Dear Dr. Varoujan K. Sissakian
So you mean that this dam will lead to the creation of severe pressure (due to the weight of the water of the dam lake) on a fault near it, which will lead to a tectonic activation of that fault.
This scenario is likely to occur in the first place ... with my respect.
No, I didnt say so, and I dont know if there is a fault there or otherwise
